    Why Families Choose SCS

    “I pulled my oldest child out of public school because the classroom size was too large and the teachers were ok with your student being average. Southside, on the other hand, keeps me informed with my child's progress and what they are learning. All the teachers there truly love their students and they pour themselves into their teaching.”
