As a former student, I can sincerely say that my time at SCS was very rewarding. The teachers at SCS are an absolute delight; they care about what students think and feel, and they want everyone to succeed. I feel that I learned more in my four years at SCS than I would've at a more traditional high school. After graduating, I went on to enroll at a four-year university and I feel that my time at SCS was an integral part of my readiness and motivation to continue studying.

My daughter has been here since 7th grade. We love it. The school is a gold balance of in person teaching and socializing, and online learning. We didn't want her going in person 5 days a week. So this is perfect. And she goes at her pace and has more free time to enjoy being a kid.
