Positive Action for Christ
Kindergarten through Fifth Grade
Transitional Kindergarten will learn about the wonders of Creation to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the Father’s glorious love along the way. Kindergarteners will learn more about God’s work and character as they study the lives of major Bible characters. First graders will learn about the many gifts given to us by God, including the ultimate gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. Second graders learn that when God gives a command, He also gives a promise. Third graders will learn about the lives of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, and Daniel and that they can teach us much about the rewards of living for God. Fourth graders will learn our lives are like castles that God can build into strong and beautiful monuments to His grace. Fifth graders will learn that just as God desired His people to possess the land of Canaan, He desires His children to live in a spiritual realm of promise and victory today.

"We absolutely love this school and our whole family has been blessed so much here for 3+ years! I highly recommend this school for the staff and Biblical education. The environment is safe and personalized for our children which is so important. There's no doubt our child's life path has been transformed forever because of these early formative years of love and learning at SCS."
"The teachers and staff here at SCS love our kids as much as we do. My wife and I are so happy to entrust the care of our kids to the SCS staff. We are so grateful for the school and daycare."
"Very friendly and professional staff. We moved to the Bay area from Australia. The school, teacher and children were all extremely welcoming to our six year old son! He really enjoys the small school environment and made many friends from day one. The school has given us all the support we could wish for after a major change. I highly recommend SCS!"
