ABOUT
Our Mission
With the Bible as our foundation, we are committed to teaching children in the Sumter community academically, socially, and spiritually in order to “present every man perfect in Christ Jesus” (Col. 1:28).
This mission is consistent with the edification mandate God gave the church and the home, and thereby provides the raison d'etre for the Christian school. This institution proposes to educate the whole child for Christ and insists that every phase of the program contribute to attaining that goal. Physical education and interscholastic athletics develop the student's physical dimension; banquets, etc., refine his social graces; Bible classes, chapel, and in a practical sense every activity address his spiritual needs; an outstanding faculty and a carefully constructed curriculum work in concert to provide superior academic training. This, we believe, accurately reflects the total growth of the Lord Jesus (Luke 2:52) and is the genius and essence of truly Christian education. In addition to educating the child in spiritual and academic areas as noted above, SCS also strives to teach patriotism, respect for our flag, and gratitude for all our military personnel, past and present. Therefore, each class begins the day with reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag. The bell to begin school signals each homeroom class to stand and recite the pledge. Students who are tardy to school are not to enter the classroom during the recitation. By beginning promptly at the bell to start school, we desire to teach the importance of punctuality and the value of time. Prayer immediately follows the Pledge of Allegiance for each class at SCS.
Our Vision
Preparing all people to stand before Jesus Christ!
