We believe some of the best learning happens beyond the classroom. Whether watching sea turtles up close, reenacting Ancient Greek Olympic games, or walking through the monuments of Washington, D.C., our students engage with God’s creation, history, and community in memorable, hands-on ways. Field trips aren’t just fun at SSCS – they are purposeful extensions of our curriculum and opportunities for character, curiosity, and community to grow.
