We had the option to keep my child in La Petite academy or start her in Pre-K at Schaumburg Christian. She was one of the youngest in her class since she turned 4 about 2 weeks after the start of school. With that said, her behavior in the first month mirrored her feral behavior she exhibited at La Petite academy. After the first month, I started noticing a change. With the help of the teacher and the dean, she began to thrive. Her schoolwork got better, her coloring got better, her retention of what she learned got better and by the end of this year, shes basically reading 3-4 word sentences with ease. I firmly believe that if we had kept her at La Petite (great staff, but glorified babysitting service) she would still not be able to read and she wouldnt have learned half of the things she did. I believe she would still be getting in trouble because the lack of curriculum and rules. I will be moving my two year old into Schaumburg Christian School as soon as she is eligible.

I absolutely love this school! From the dedicated teachers to the welcoming atmosphere, I feel so grateful to be a part of such an amazing community. The opportunities for growth and learning here are endless, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to attend SCS. I feel so supported and valued as a member of SCS. I am grateful for the positive impact that the administration has on the overall school experience. I appreciate the inclusive atmosphere that fosters a sense of belonging and support. The caring teachers at Schaumburg Christian School who not only strive for academic excellence but also share their love for the Lord with their students. Their dedication to instilling values of faith, kindness, and compassion in the classroom creates a nurturing and spiritually enriching environment. I feel blessed to be surrounded by educators who not only educate but also inspire and guide with the love of the Lord.

What an environment! Echoing other reviews, - that the nurturing attention and consistent but fair expectations have helped my child to finally work at her ability level.Smaller class sizes allow for deeper instruction. AP, honors classes, independent study and dual credit classes are all offered. Individual help is easy to access if you're child is willing. A variety of athletics are offered and the coaches motivate students to develop academically and athletically with a healthy attitude for sportsmanship in a Christ centered focus in healthy competition.Staff and administration communicate regularly and are attentive to the needs of your family and their students.It is evident that the staff is supported by the administration, which helps to create the unified environment.There are many family outings and opportunities to attend school events with the whole family! I cannot say enough - how wonderful it is to have a school that fortifies and nurtures the whole child while building up and supporting strong Christian & family values! All at a reasonable price Fully endorse SCS - as a parent and teacher!

My boys were struggling in the public school system, which prioritized mask wearing and did not worry about grades. Violence and drug use was prevalent there, and it seemed as the teachers were powerless to stop it . Multiple kids with weapons according to my boy . One of my sons was punished for three months in the principles office for being a non -mask wearer. We finally left there and it took a short time for my boys to come alive in learning in Schaumburg Christian. Having a great teacher and God on your side did wonders for my boys. One boy is top GPA I'm the school from a C average to 4.0 . He even took up piano, basketball, and baseball, all under God's care in Schaumburg Christian . Thank you and thank God for saving my boys from this hard world .

I cannot say enough about Schaumburg Christian School; their level of Education and personal Behavior standards are unmatchable. My children who are now in their thirties went to the school and I am grateful that my grandson is going there now.

SCS is a great school that instill such good Christian values to our children. As a pre-k patent, I'm amazed at the way prayer, music and discipline is taught. Miss Seanior is such a wonderful teacher who truly cares about her students. The welcoming staff &security to greet you in the am is such a good way to begin the day! I would highly recommend this school!

We have three kids at SCS and have been involved for many years. The teachers seem to care so much for my kids and remember them as they get older. SCS offers consistent academic excellence, affordability, and personal preparation in a way that other schools cannot match. Also, the connection to a local church—for our family - is a surprising and valuable benefit. We know there are people who love God and love others available if we need spiritual guidance.

This school by far is the best investment I can ever make for my children. I made the decision to send my daughter to SCS in 8th grade. She is now going into her 3rd year of college. She plans on being a physician assistant. She told me that her science and English classes helped prepare her for college. She is an excellent writer and it has helped her write so many top notch college papers not to mention her college entrance letters. SCS prepares its students for college early on and gives them the tools they need to succeed. My son started 5th grade there and is now a freshman and wants to be an engineer. He loves it there. The teachers are so personable and really love teaching! Mrs. Moehring, Ms. Young, Mrs. Vandermeir, Ms. Schopf, Mr. Mills, Mrs. White, Mrs. Crosswell, Mrs. North, and so many others really laid the academic and spiritual foundation for both of my children! I live 30 minutes away and the drive will always be worth it!!

My child has been enrolled at SCS since 2017, when she was in preschool, and she is now about to enter middle school. Our experience has been exceptional. Each of her teachers has shown compassionate care and has been very responsive to any concerns we have expressed about her learning. I also appreciate the school's foundation on teaching the Bible and building Christ-like character in the lives of the students. This reinforces the values we are teaching her at home. I would highly recommend Schaumburg Christian School to parents who want their kids to have an exceptional education with a solid Biblical world view.

Also the school is as clean as clean can be and it always has been! Our daughters are excellent students and wonderful members of the community now! The families are friendly And we all have the same goal of excellence for our children!

My kid is attending school as an international student. Being able to go to class in person is tremendously helpful for his adjustment to new environment. It's beyond belief some at most public school put their interests before children whom they claim they care so much about. The school managed pandemic very well as so far there are only a handful infections from outside the school (4 in 8 months). I'm grateful there still exists schools that focus on education. This is definitely one.

I enrolled my son at SCS during this school year. We, as a family, had been at another local private school for decades and it was hard to finally admit that my son was not getting a good education. I was hesitant but we were both ready. I can confirm that in the first 3 days at SCS, my son was so incredibly happy again and actually learning a tough curriculum and an added benefit is how amazing the teachers and staff are to parents as well as the kids. Such a difference in professionalism that I'm just mad at myself for not making the switch sooner. If you're on the fence, don't hesitate.

My daugther started in Preschool and was home 6 months last year due to Covid. She asked to go back and I started her part time but she quickly picked up and wanted to attend full time. It was very easy to transition her back and the teachers including teacher aid are wonderful in keeping the children safe, disciplined and making them feel loved which is critical.Kudos Schaumburg Christian for providing my child with a safe, reiligious, strong educational environment where she is thriving. I am blessed to have this school for my daugther and our community.

My daughter transferred from a huge public school to this smaller, private school. It was the best decision we made. She is in an environment that shares God`s word but is also exhibited through the staff and students. Covid was hard enough but she was able to still acclimate and make friends. Education was not compromised and she was able to have have a positive experience.

I have already recommended SCS to several of my friends. Thanks SCS.

Our kids are excited about school again! The difference is measurable and apparent everywhere we look. Academic rigor, support from staff, behavior expectations, sense of community...the list goes on. We got them in at 2nd and 4th grade and my only regret is not enrolling them from the start. And a huge plus...there are more after school opportunities (art, music, sports, etc.) than there are days in the week.

Rating 5 out of 5 Schaumburg Christian is an amazing school. The education our daughter is receiving is top-notch. And we are so thankful for the teachers and the staff. It feels like a family. I don`t think we would feel the same in the public school setting. We have been extremely happy at SCS for the past 3 years, and we are looking forward to many years ahead!

SCS has been a Godsend for our family. Our two girls absolutely love their teachers and the one-on-one attention that they get. The curriculum, including extra-curricular activities, is setting them up to have a heart for God first, and to be accountable and responsible citizens. May the Lord continue to lead and direct staff, teachers, and administration .

I am thankful for the environment at SCS for our 3 kids! The teachers and staff don`t just focus on academics, but also focus on the entirety of a person. SCS also encourages the values we work on instilling in our children at home.

Schaumburg Christian has served our family for 15 years and we have been very happy with the curriculum, the teachers, the staff and the Biblical viewpoint in everything they have learned. Not only are the academics very well rounded, but also the music programs, which have been staffed by talented and Christian teachers who care about their students. The athletic directors and coaches have also been a great blessing to our family as well and our children have benefited greatly from being involved in sports teams at SCS. The school cares about each individual student and seeks to help them not only in their academics, but also in their spiritual lives and in nurturing and helping them to grow in all areas of life.

Schaumburg Christian School is a great school. The staff is very welcoming and always ready to assist the students and parents. The teachers are great and go above and beyond to make sure the students understand everything they teach. They care about the well being of each student. Before the start of class my 7the grade`s teacher asks each student how they are doing. The curriculum is great and it`s the perfect place for kids to learn core ethical values. The foundation the students build up in pre-3 and pre-k help them excel through every class they go through. I have two kids here and they love it so much.

I recommend our school to everyone.

My wife, myself, and my kids absolutely love SCS. The teachers care about the students beyond just the school day and school year. We get specific feedback from the teachers for each of our kids. The curriculum is challenging but fair; my second grader is learning square roots, and my kindergartner is reading full sentences. We have had several friends move their kids over to SCS, and they too are extremely satisfied.

After doing some research on schools around our area, Christian or non-Christian school, we decided to send our 3 kids to Schaumburg Christian School. 12 years later, we are glad we made that decision. Our boys love the school. The academics, arts, and values learned from SCS have set our children up for great college options and several scholarships offered to them. I would recommend SCS to anyone looking for a great education for their children.

My children love this school. They have joined this school since Pre-K and they love their school. There was one point that I think we can save $ by sending them to public school instead but after hearing, I said that my daughter said...mom if I have enough in my savings can I use that $ to pay the tuition so that I can continue at SCS.
