Start Your Journey At SCS
Choosing a school is a deeply meaningful journey. At Southside Christian School, we walk alongside families every step of the way—from your first inquiry all the way through graduation.
Admissions Process
Our admissions process is designed to be welcoming, clear, and relational. Here’s what to expect:
Request Information

Student Assessment & Family Meeting
Helps us better understand your child’s academic progress and spiritual growth. Meetings are attended by middle and high school students only; elementary students do not attend.
Acceptance & Enrollment Confirmation
Families of accepted students secure their spot by signing the Continuous Enrollment Agreement and paying an enrollment fee.
Admissions for Current Families
Returning families enjoy a streamlined journey: when you sign the Continuous Enrollment Agreement, your student remains enrolled automatically through high school graduation. Adding a new sibling? Simply use your existing FACTS Family Portal—no need to start over.

Eligibility & Partnership
We view admissions as a partnership between home, church, and school. To ensure that SCS is the right fit, we look for alignment in faith and commitment to student growth. At Southside Christian School, enrollment is shaped by partnership. One parent must profess a personal faith in Christ, be active in a like-minded church, and provide a pastor reference. We discern admission for students with learning differences through individual review, ensuring we can support them well. Academic readiness, discipline history, and alignment with our values all guide our approach, including a required uniform policy.
