The middle school window is brief yet pivotal: students ask bigger questions, stretch academic muscles, and look for belonging. Saint Simons Christian School exists to guide that journey – pairing big‑school opportunities with our family atmosphere that lets teens test new strengths without losing their footing in who they are in Christ.
Equipping Students to Think Deeply, Live Boldly, and Lead for Christ
Developing Leaders
”"We have a family atmosphere here at Saint Simons Christian School. It is beautiful. We build a village and that's what we call it when we meet with our parents, when we talk to our students - we tell them that we are a family here. And part of being in a family is loving each other through the hard times and through the growth times, and through the positives and through victories. We have built this huge village and community where we can rely on each other, and it's not an atmosphere that you see, really in any other place. And it's all due to the Holy Spirit that dwells in the walls of this building."

Preparing Hearts and Minds for the Journey Ahead
