Campus Life

SACS provides a Christ-centered environment where students grow in faith, character, and community, equipping them with values that guide them beyond their school years.

From retreats and athletic events to after-school programs and fine arts, every aspect of campus life is thoughtfully designed to inspire, challenge, and connect. Students build meaningful relationships, discover their talents, and live out their faith in ways that impact both their school and the world around them.

LION Pride

Where Community and Spirit Come Alive!

One of the best ways to experience the SACS community is by attending an athletic event on campus.

Our Friday Night Lights football games are an unforgettable experience, bringing families, students, alumni, and even the littlest Lions together in the heart of our campus. From cheering in the stands to gathering with friends at tailgate parties, the atmosphere is filled with excitement and unity.

Athletic events at SACS extend beyond the field, uniting our community in celebration of teamwork, dedication, and school spirit. No matter the sport or venue, the roar of Lion Pride can be felt throughout our campus.

We invite you to join us at a game and experience the excitement for yourself!

School Retreats

Elementary & Middle School Retreats

Starting in 5th grade, students attend overnight retreats where they tackle challenge courses, enjoy hikes, and bond through group prayer and devotions. Activities like shaving cream battles, muddy tug-of-war, and zip lines create lasting memories. Middle school retreats add adventure with rappelling and advanced courses. With praise bands, inspiring speakers, and time away from distractions, students reflect on God’s goodness in the beautiful Hill Country setting, deepening relationships with peers, teachers, and their faith.

High School Retreat

Rated #2 best Christian High School in San Antonio area!

When seniors reflect on their time at SACS, the High School Retreat is often a favorite memory. This event fosters leadership as seniors guide underclassmen through activities like team challenges, cave spelunking, rock climbing, rappelling, and jumping on the river blob. Worship around the campfire, skits, and the bus ride build a sense of belonging, creating shared experiences that unite the high school community early in the year.

After-school programs

Our after-school programs provide a positive, nurturing environment where elementary students can thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.

With the guidance of caring teachers and staff, students enjoy a well-rounded experience filled with indoor and outdoor activities, nutritious snacks, and homework support. They can explore enrichment opportunities like art programs, hands-on science, and musical groups like the Roaring Recorder ensemble. For active fun, games like mat ball and gaga ball keep them moving and engaged.

At SACS, after-school programs extend the day with a perfect balance of learning, creativity, and play, all within a Christ-centered atmosphere.

Elhanan Tariku
“The best part of going to SACS is that it’s a Christian school. We know God, we spend time with Him each and every day. I can talk about Him, I don’t have to be afraid. I can just talk about experiences. We can help each other and glorify God.”
