As a parent, you want the best experience possible for your child during the pivotal middle school years.
Middle School can be a challenging time. Academic expectations are higher, and students are learning how to navigate relationships as they enter a new season of independence. It is important for your child to be in a healthy environment that supports and encourages their God-given gifts and interests.
At San Antonio Christian School, our middle school program is more than just a transition between elementary and high school. We offer an academically challenging curriculum within an encouraging community, preparing our students for high school and beyond.
Below, you will find a brief overview of what we offer, including information about our:
School Culture
“We treasure that our kids’ hearts, souls, and futures are considered in every decision that is made and that SACS is a community where the success of all of our kids is defined by so much more than just a grade. A Christ-centered education has given our kids the most important foundation for building their lives.”
THE Hicks FAMILY
At SACS, students enjoy challenging academics infused with a biblical worldview, helping students understand how God’s truth applies to their academic journey.
Core Requirements
Bible class is a core subject at SACS. We also offer a dedicated biblical worldview class, in 8th grade, to deepen students’ understanding of how faith intersects with all areas of life. Beyond traditional core classes, we offer Latin, logic, speech, and personal finance, ensuring a well-rounded education.
Dynamic Electives
Students can engage in unique electives like caring for exotic creatures in Animal Care, learning money management in Business 101, and mastering grilling and survival skills in BBQ and Outdoor Living. They can also explore the histories of ancient Greece, Rome, and the Vikings. All Middle School students participate in “Managing the Middle,” an elective that builds organization, time management, and study skills.
Arts Ownership
Students can explore their creativity through theater, band, and visual arts. Middle school theater is entirely student-run, offering hands-on experience in production, lighting, and sound. Band students perform in concerts while exploring various instruments, and art classes foster creativity through painting, drawing, ceramics, and digital art.
Caring Faculty/Staff
Our dedicated faculty and staff create an environment where students feel valued and encouraged. They provide personalized guidance by understanding each student’s strengths and challenges. Over 70% of our teachers participate in campus activities, fostering deeper mentorship relationships with students.
HIGH SCHOOL
Prep
Equipping your child to thrive today and tomorrow.
Empowering your child to succeed in middle school, high school, college, and life is a fundamental aspect of our mission. We are dedicated to providing the support, resources, and opportunities necessary for your child to be successful.
Meaningful Electives & Clubs
Does your student still want just a little bit more involvement? Your child can participate in everything from our 4-H club to CyberPatriots. These enrichment experiences are tremendous outlets for middle schoolers to connect, learn, and build a sense of community.
Language Exploration
Latin students learn grammar, vocabulary, and English derivatives. Students taking logic are exposed to logical reasoning techniques. In speech class, children develop and sharpen public speaking skills for a range of audiences in preparation for high school and college/career settings.
Competitive Athletics
Whether your child wants to try a sport for the first time or go deeper into a sport they love, SACS offers multiple team and individual athletics opportunities, including basketball, soccer, football, cheerleading, track and field, cross-country, volleyball, golf, tennis, baseball, and softball.
Mentorship
More than 70% of our teachers are involved in other activities around campus, allowing students to deepen mentorship relationships with their instructors. Coaches and staff invest time in helping students explore how to apply biblical truth to their lives.
Self-Advocacy
We mentor students to become their own academic advocates, empowering them to communicate effectively with instructors. Faculty support this journey by fostering skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and clear communication. These competencies prepare students to navigate their academic paths with confidence and independence.
Leadership Development
Leadership development is also a key focus at SACS. Through our Student Ambassadors program and various service projects, your child can grow in character and gain valuable experience that extends well beyond the classroom
