As a college preparatory institution, academic excellence must be the focus as early as the elementary grades.
Strong emphasis is placed on math and the language arts with a special concentration on the reading process. Students are also challenged through science, social studies, and creative writing.
Deerfield-Windsor's Middle/Upper School is committed to the proposition that each child deserves the finest possible educational opportunity.
The Lower School serves students in 4-year-old Prekindergarten through grade 5
Our middle school serves students in grades 6-8. The upper school serves students in grades 9-12.
As a ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church, Sherwood Christian Academy will partner with Christian parents to provide students with a quality, Bible-based education that will lead students to strive for excellence in all things so that they will become Christ-like leaders in their homes, churches, workplaces and communities.
In order to successfully fulfill this mission, Sherwood Christian Academy has identified six core values that will be given high priority in all of SCA's programs.
Each core value has several operating principles that allows SCA to put these core values into everyday practice in all aspects of its educational program.
