Academics: Curriculum

"The Christ centered education from SSLS has helped to prepare the girls for the many challenges they have faced during their high school and college years." - Mary, parent

The entire curriculum serves to glorify Jesus as Lord and Savior. The class day is warmed by the constant love of God in Christ. We seek to educate not only mind and body, but also heart and soul. Our program instills the unchanging truths of God's Word with Bible study, Catechism doctrine, prayer, hymns, and Bible verses.

Homework and memory work are assigned at the teacher's discretion. The curriculum is continuously reviewed and updated.
