Dear Prospective Parents:

Welcome to the 2010-2011 registration period. I thank the Lord for each family considering a partnership with Shannon Forest Christian School (SFCS). At SFCS,
we labor with a continued sense of purpose and our eyes toward heaven.

There are two ways of spreading Light:
to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

--Edith Wharton

Here are 10 reasons to enroll your child(ren) at SFCS:

  1. Students are provided a high quality education from an evangelical, Biblical perspective.
  2. Students learn a pattern for life built upon the inerrancy of the Scriptures.
  3. SFCS is unapologetically reformed in its doctrine and strives to enable students to view life and the future as being guided by a Sovereign God.
  4. Our faculty is bonded through the common purpose of modeling Christian behavior by creating a safe, nurturing, educational environment which seeks to partner with the church and home toward inspiring young men and women to influence culture and society for Jesus Christ.
  5. SFCS students consistently place higher on standardized testing and SAT scores than the national and state averages. The graduating class of 2009 scored 176 points higher than the national average and 233 points high than the state average in their SAT scores.
  6. 100% of our graduates are accepted in to the colleges and universities of their choice.
  7. Service to the Greenville and surrounding communities is expected, not just encouraged.
  8. Students are valued for their unique God given gifts and are afforded individual attention. SFCS students have opportunities outside the academic classroom to participate in drama, choir, chess club, Key Club, student council, science fair, ACSI Spelling Bee, ACSI Math Olympics, Geography Bee and an array of Middle School and High School sports.
  9. Our students are the Presidential Physical Fitness State Champions and have been for 9 years in a row.
  10. SFCS is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), Tri-M Music Honor society, National Honor Society, National Junior Honor Society and the North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association (NCISAA).

I look forward to having the opportunity to explore how SFCS might meet the needs of your family. Thank you again for your commitment to education from a Biblical perspective.

In His and Your Service,
Brenda K. Hillman
