Strategic Initiatives

The core values of SCS provide a deeper understanding and specific articulation of the school’s mission. These values reflect our commitment to honor and reflect the character of Jesus Christ as an educational ministry and serve as the standard by which we measure the effectiveness of our program. In essence, these values are simultaneously who we are and who we strive to be, as Paul says in Philippians 3:12-14:

“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

WE VALUE talents by recognizing them as gifts given by God to the body of Christ (students) to unify and galvanize it for the singular purpose of glorifying Him.
WE VALUE God’s unique gifting to each student by encouraging them to explore their spiritual, intellectual, artistic, and athletic abilities.
WE VALUE each student’s God given talents by assisting students in discovering and understanding them; inspiring and equipping students to develop them; and in providing opportunities to use and serve with them.

WE VALUE discipleship by challenging students to develop an authentic and vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ and provide teachers, experiences, and curriculum that nurture a deep, abiding, and enduring faith.
WE VALUE relationship by intentionally partnering with families, local church bodies, and surrounding neighborhoods to promote Christ-centered community.
WE VALUE each student as image bearers of Christ by honoring their diverse history and heritage.
WE VALUE lives that honor Christ by encouraging the development of Christian character through:
WE VALUE servant leadership by following Christ’s example of genuine compassion that compels action through generosity, advocacy, and service for those in need.
