School Reviews
5 6/3/2022
Sandhills Classical Christian School (SCCS) is phenomenal. We are thrilled at how our son is thriving and getting a superb all-around educational foundation. We highly recommend SCCS' classical teaching methods, advanced curriculum approach, and character-building from K5 through high school. It's not common to find a school that teaches your children the building blocks of grammar, writing (yes, even cursive!), math and science, while also instilling Biblical values, teaching them Latin, music, and more starting in elementary school. The teachers are experienced leaders who will keep you informed of your child's progress. The staff are caring and attentive and will know your child by name. If you can do it, choose SCCS. It really is the best school in the area. The facility is new and growing quickly with new buildings and sports areas for football, soccer, playground, and more.
