About Sandhills Classical Christian School

A non-denominational Christian school with a biblical worldview, Sandhills Classical Christian School fosters more than 100 young minds to think clearly, listen carefully, reason logically, and articulate persuasively. SCCS offers a full curriculum for pre-school through high-school aged children, including drama, art, music, and sports activities, while remaining focused on its outstanding academic program in the Classical methodology.

Our Curriculum

Rooted with an understanding of developmental stages, a Classical education capitalizes on the learning characteristics of each, in a three-part process termed the Trivium. Children in kindergarten through sixth grade learn through a multi-sensory approach focused on acquiring a wide range of facts in critical subjects. SCCS is one of the few educational institutions to use the comprehensive phonics method to teach reading, and beginning in third grade, students study Latin. The study of this structured and logical language prepares students for solving other complex problems, and as the origin of Romance languages, Latin study enables students to comprehend and master other languages, including English, more easily.

The School of Logic for students in grades seven and eight stresses formal logic, writing, reading classical texts, and a historical, cultural, and theological integration of subjects. In grades nine through twelve, students learn to communicate their ideas and beliefs persuasively through formal rhetoric. Students hone their skills of persuasion by participating in debate, apologetics, drama, and speech and essay writing, while simultaneously studying classic literature, history, math, and science.

A Christ-centered institution, SCCS incorporates a comprehensive study of the Bible throughout a child’s education. The results of the Trivium approach is that SCCS students enter adulthood knowing how to think, and students test well above grade level on the Stanford Achievement Test. Most importantly, SCCS fosters young people who are socially graceful and spiritually gracious.

A member of the Association of Classical Christian Schools, SCCS is growing with its first graduating class in 2012. Financial aid is available for eligible students. Headmaster Johnson encourages parents to schedule a personal tour to experience the school’s excellence.
