SCA PHILOSOPHY
Southside Christian Academy is a Christian school based on a Biblical worldview which serves as the all-encompassing framework for the entire content and conduct of the school. Knowledge, understanding, and excellence are generated as students develop to their highest potential. Emphasis is placed on the scholarly integration of Biblical faith with learning and living as they are developed through curricular and extracurricular programs. The faculty imparts knowledge and models mature Christian living in order to challenge and to mold students to develop spiritually, emotionally, socially, and physically so that they may become a vital part of our society. Such education is primarily the parents' responsibility. Because the school functions as an extension of the home to aid parents in providing the child's total education, we are engaged in a mutual and unique opportunity.
