I have never met such an amazing group of professionals in my life. I have been homeschooling my kids for over 3 years and made the leap of faith to put them in private school and I am so grateful I did. By far the kindest and most knowledgeable group of individuals ever. They treat my children with respect while showing sincere love towards them. My kids come home every day with a smile, excited for another day there at Southwestern Christian School. SWCS is very academically driven and as a parent, we admire that. It helps that the teachers know what they are doing and teach it well so that the kids can keep up and continue to progress. We see a long future with this school. We are so thankful.

This school has been such a blessing to our family! We have our 3 girls enrolled here and have loved the values, curriculum and family feel it has. They are a full grade advanced in their curriculum, which has been a wonderful challenge and helped my girls grow exponentially. Being a discipleship school, it focuses on partnering with the parent in raising their child up in the knowledge and truth of Christ. The staff and faculty are loving and intentional in their guidance and teaching. I am so thankful we found this school!
