Your Flourish Fund support today helps shape the future, one student at a time.

Who will I become?

Every student who walks through our doors carries this unspoken question. And every school answers it—whether explicitly or implicitly. The question isn’t whether our children will be formed, but how and toward what end.

Every school reflects a vision of the good life. At SCCS, we shape minds and loves—guiding students to delight in what is right, lasting, and life-giving.

“The teachers aren’t just trying to get us to a good college or give us the best career… their main goal is to show us what is true, good, and beautiful—what life really is about, what being human really is about.”   –Current 9th grader

Here, formation has direction. We’re equipping students not only with knowledge and skill, but with a vision for a flourishing life—rooted in truth and ready for every circumstance, for their good, for the good of others, and for the glory of God.

One parent recently shared, “I’ve worked in both public and private schools, and there really is a difference in the goal and purpose of this school—and how that shapes students. At SCCS, Christ isn’t just a class subject; the gospel is the foundation of everything. This difference has awakened my children’s imaginations and renewed their love of learning.”

In a city shaping the future in technology, culture, and ideas, the students we form today will become the leaders, parents, innovators, and servants of tomorrow. What they learn to love here will shape Seattle—and beyond—for generations.

This kind of formation is only possible because of your partnership.

As our first seniors prepare to graduate, we see the fruit of this work: students who have learned not only what to think, but how to think—rooted in Christ, confident in who they are, and eager to serve the world around them.

Your gift today helps ensure that this formation continues—for their good, for the good of others, and for the glory of God.

Who They Become Starts Here

Your support sustains the teachers, classrooms, and programs that make this daily transformation possible. Without it, we cannot:

• Retain excellent, Christ-centered teachers who build lasting relationships where formation happens

• Provide financial aid for the 48% of families who need it

• Expand access through Student Learning Services and transportation so every child can thrive

• Support families from 39+ Seattle churches in forming resilient Christians who will lead and serve this city

Tuition covers about 70% of what it costs to educate each child. The Flourish Fund bridges the gap between tuition and the true cost of offering this kind of education in the heart of Seattle. Your gifts sustain the teachers and classrooms that make formation possible—day after day, student after student.

Make your best gift today.

·       Every gift, regardless of size, makes a difference

·       Consider stock gifts (which can eliminate capital gains tax), donor-advised funds, or qualified charitable distributions

·       Check if your employer matches charitable giving—it’s an easy way to multiply your impact

Your generosity shapes lives, and we are profoundly grateful for your partnership in forming servant leaders who love goodness, truth, and beauty.

Hear from a pastoral family

Some of the deepest heartache we have had as a family living in Seattle is that our older daughter has gone to school in an environment that not only doesn’t value what we believe but is often “politely” antagonistic towards our faith in Jesus. As adults, we were prepared to handle both the cultural differences and the subtle antagonism, but it has been difficult on our older daughter. Seeking to serve as missionaries in Seattle and shepherd God’s people is much harder if we are broken-hearted over our child’s experience of being alone and different at school. 

So, for our family to be part of a school community like SCCS not only helps encourage and nourish our daughter’s faith, but also relieves us of a burden to give us more capacity to serve the people around us with more freedom. 

And, as a pastor, we have had people we deeply invested in move away from Seattle primarily because they wanted a better education for their children than they were receiving. We are confident that if they had known that a school like SCCS was an option for their family, they would have stayed in the city and continued partnering with us to reach the people of our city. For those families who still live in Seattle and are looking into educational choices for their children, we gladly tell parents about why we love SCCS and strongly encourage them to consider SCCS for their children’s education with the hope that they would be encouraged to stay committed to the city knowing that their children will be well cared for.  

 REPORT CARDS AND ANSWERED PRAYERS

Every quarter, I can’t help but tear up when reading my children’s report cards. It’s not the grades I’m interested in as much as the comments that give me a window into my children’s progress and the teachers I’m entrusting my children to every day. In these comments, I see teachers who truly know and care for my children’s whole selves! 

Just listen to this comment from my 8th grader’s science teacher: “I’ve seen your student come into our studies with wonder and admiration for God’s creation. She also has a disposition toward problem-solving and critical thinking when encountering the complex concepts we have studied thus far. My prayer for her is that she’d know God in new ways as we study His intricate creation. Secondary to that is my hope that through learning about science, she would hone the ability to reason well and wonder deeply.
