Southwide Academy has provided a quality, individualized academic program to the Western Communities since 1975.
We are a ministry of Crestwood Baptist Church. Our Christian school was established to offer a solid Christian foundation, coupled with a solid academic foundation, to all of its students, preparing them to successfully face an ever-changing world.
The philosophy responsible for our beginning has never wavered through the years.
God created each person a unique individual with certain strengths and weaknesses.
We believe that every student should be approached as an individual.
Not every child processes information at the same rate or in the same manner.
We believe our approach of individualized instruction best meets the goal of enabling all students to enjoy academic success.
