We enjoy giving tours of the school , to schedule a tour, call the SCA Office at (985) 641-3785.
SCA is a place where families can find a high quality educational program in an atmosphere where Christ is honored in all things.
SCA is a non-profit, religious, and educational institution. SCA does not discriminate among applicants for admission or employment on the basis of race, color, gender, or national origin.
Applications for enrollment may be obtained from the SCA Office. You may also download the applications below (Registration Packet in Adobe PDF format).
To begin the admissions process, a completed Registration Packet and non-refundable registration fee should be submitted to the SCA Office. It is the parent's responsibility to collect necessary documentation (report cards, standardized achievement tests, etc.) and to make sure that all legal papers (birth certificates, vaccination records, etc.) are in order. A list of all necessary forms is provided in the Registration Packet.
Report cards for the past two years and the last standardized achievement test (Leap Tests are not accepted) results must be submitted for admissions review.
Students are accepted only upon evidence that they can succeed academically and contribute in a positive manner to the spirit and morale of SCA. The school administration must also be satisfied that the parent or parents will support SCA's spiritual, academic, and disciplinary standards.
Here are some reasons to choose SCA:
- We are a church operated not for profit ministry.
SCA is a ministry of Slidell Bible Chapel, an independent, Bible teaching, local church meeting in Sllidell for over thirty years.
- We utilize the complete A Beka Book Curriculum for all grades.
A Beka Book is unashamedly Christian and traditional in their approach to education. The A Beka Book approach to Christian education keeps learning lively, interesting, and memorable. Their materials reflect sensible theory that is firmly anchored to practicality. A Beka Book materials have been developed as a result of 50 years of actual classroom experience in Pensacola Christian Academy, one of America’s largest and most respected Christian day schools. Their skilled researchers and writers do not paraphrase progressive education textbooks and add Biblical principles; they do primary research in every subject and look at the subject from God’s point of view. Of course, the most original source is always the Word of God, the only foundation for true scholarship in any area of human endeavor. Thus A Beka Book publications are built upon the firm foundation of Scriptural truth and are written by dedicated and talented Christian scholars who are well grounded in the practical aspects of classroom teaching.
- We keep classes small and the teacher to student ratio high.
Our small size provides more personal attention for your child
- We are not, nor do we seek to be, a state accredited school.
We also do not see certification of our teachers as a thing to be desired. If these produced a quality education, you would have enrolled your child in a public school, which has both. We are careful to hire the very best staff possible, who are committed to the Lord Jesus Christ and serving Him here at SCA.
- We are a member of the Association of Christian Schools International.
