This school is absolutely horrible. Sandhills Classical “Christian” School? This school isn’t very “Christian” when it comes to teaching kids how to act! Isn’t one of the greatest commandments respecting others as yourself? Why can’t the school’s students be like that? Does this school think mocking is a great thing to do? It sure does when it comes to their sports! They can’t even discipline their own students right.

I have two children at Sandhills Classical Christian School, and I could not be happier with the education they’re receiving. My youngest began in the preschool program, and my oldest started in kindergarten, so we’ve experienced SCCS from preschool through second grade.

What we love most:
- Classical education: SCCS utilizes classical curriculum that aligns with child development. The trivium approach builds from strong foundations in the early years to deeper reasoning and clear communication as students mature. They even complete a thesis prior to graduation.
- Christ-centered learning: Scripture and biblical truth are woven into every subject, providing a firm spiritual foundation.
- Technology-free classrooms: SCCS emphasizes textbooks, handwriting, and discussion, which is proven to help students focus, think deeply, and retain what they learn.
- Excellent extracurriculars: There are after-school clubs to fit a variety of interests and opportunities starting as early as kindergarten.
- Small classes and support: Class sizes are smaller, and the younger grades have dedicated teacher assistants.
- Plentiful recess: SCCS prioritizes unstructured outdoor play alongside a rigorous academic day.
- Outstanding arts: The art and music programs are exceptional. Our children continually surprise us with what they create and learn.

The school has also recently undergone some administrative restructuring, and it’s been encouraging to watch the SCCS community come together in the interim as a new Head of School is selected. It's such a testament to the strength of the school and its parent community.

I am enrolling my daughter in this school starting next week. After weeks of agonizing about whether or not to pull my daughter from public after just 6 months in the area I am convinced this is the best school for her and the right decision. The staff has spent countless hours with me giving me information so I can make a informed decision. Observed today...all of the kids are well behaved, eager, excited and enthusiastic about learning. The teacher was very involved, never at her desk. We are a military family and this school makes me want to stay here forever. So blessed to have this school as a choice! Great job sandhills classical. You have awed me!,,,

I have a child in both SCCS and LFPS. We are a military family and every time we talk about leaving, we are sick about our children losing this FAMILY. The teachers and staff are amazing, caring, intelligent and truly LOVE our babies! I have been complimented in public on many occasions by people that "overhear" my children discussing and singing about Jesus as well as their manners and intelligence! I like to claim most of the manners and intelligence (DNA ;)) but these two schools mean so much to us as a FAMILY unit that we hesitate leaving at all! We LOVE the FAMILY of SCCS!

Our son attends the 4yr old class at Little Friends Preschool, part of SCCS. I cannot fully express in words how much this school means to our family. Our son is learning latin, art, music, in addition to his "reading/writing/aritimatic" and he LOVES it. What's more important is that I'm seeing his character develop into one after God's own heart. The teachers are outstanding and the administration knows everyone by name. They highly encourage family participation. I am not pentecostal or presbyterian, and I have never felt any specific denomination "pushed" on our family. In fact, it seems we've met people from all faiths there. What is "pushed" is the love of Christ and the expectation of Christ-like behavior. I could not have asked or dreamed of a better preschool experience for our son. What an honor it is to drop him off there every morning knowing that he is loved by his teachers and peers, prayed for by the Mom's in Touch group, and cared for by everyone he encounters. LFPS is a tremendous blessing to our family and they truly exemplify Christ in action. It's something they take seriously and something I see every single day when I am there.

Just so you understand by "Christian" they really mean something more akin to "Pentecostal". That's fine, but they soft-pedal that during the admissions process. We had an absolutely awful experience here. The administration supports teachers no matter how unprofessional their behavior. There is no acceptance whatsoever of children's different levels of abilities and temperaments. If Christianity means tolerance to you, then you should steer clear.

My daughter attends Little Friend Preschool and I absolutely love it. She does very well and the teachers are amazing. The classes aren't too big and it's very structured. My daughter learns so much and she loves going to school. The communication between the teachers and parents is also great. I always know what's going on. Definitely a great school and I would recommend it to anyone!

It is a great environment for kids to learn and grow. It is a wonderful community.

This is our 4th year at the school and we absolutely love it! The children are so engaged through songs, chants and moving their bodies to help them learn an amazing amount of material. The kids are also able to learn so much, in part, because of the orderly class environment. The teachers are dedicated, caring, and effective. My third grader is learning Latin this year and already starting to see how words fit together and learning all about parts of speech and sentence structure. If we ever move, my top priority will be finding another classical school - it is simply the best educational method I've seen.
