As a parent, you know just how much a positive elementary school experience can impact your child. You realize that your child is entering a more structured classroom environment. You’re figuring out how your child learns best, and you understand that they’ll need the right amount of support to be successful.
Of course, the foundation they build in elementary school will play a significant factor in their academic success in middle school and beyond. You want them to be in a nurturing environment with teachers who care as much about their spiritual growth as they do about academic progress.
In these critical early years of your child’s development, you want a partner who will come alongside your child to help strengthen their understanding of the Christian faith.
When children have a strong sense of identity in their formative years, it provides a strong foundation they can build on in middle school, high school, and beyond.
At San Antonio Christian School, we partner with San Antonio area families to provide a Christ-centered education. Each one of our students is encouraged to grow in their personal relationship with Jesus. We’re a private Christian school with an unwavering commitment to fostering a life of faith and service, even among our youngest learners.
The education experience at SACS is intentionally designed to complement the values you teach your child at home. Our qualified staff creates engaging lessons that challenge and inspire students. At the same time, our caring teachers nurture and shepherd their children in pursuit of the Lord’s excellence in a warm environment that truly feels like an extension of the home.
Scripture is at the heart of everything our elementary students do, so all subjects and activities are biblically integrated with the distinct purpose of imparting a Christ-centered worldview.
That mission is reflected throughout the school — from the firm foundation built in our pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and elementary classrooms to the middle and high school programs.
“I love SACS because my children wake up each morning excited for school. The teachers at SACS care about my children’s growth as a person, not just as a student. We chose SACS because of their commitment to Christ, their rigorous (but achievable) academics, and opportunities to participate in strong athletics and Fine Arts programs. My children have grown in every aspect of life since starting SACS. My only regret is not enrolling them sooner.”

“Being entrusted to lead students in the classroom is a blessing I am very grateful for. I treasure the relationships that have been built with these children and their families and I am thankful that I get to spend my days here doing what I enjoy at a place I really enjoy. I cherish getting to work alongside individuals who love Christ and want to lead and love students well.”
We have made significant investments to keep our students physically and emotionally safe. This commitment starts with campus safety (secure facilities and technology solutions) and people safety (faculty/staff background checks, safety drills, secure drop-off/pickup).
At SACS, our teachers model godly values, and our optimal class sizes mean that our faculty and staff can get to know, love, and pray for each student. This dynamic helps us understand each student’s gifts, challenges, and potential.
The emphasis we put on safety creates an environment that helps children thrive. We know that’s what you want for your child — to see them flourish and excel as they build confidence and develop the skills they need for middle school and beyond.
