SCA has 2 facets: 1) Hybrid Academics and 2) Homeschool Enrichment. Our Hybrid Academic program (detailed below) has not yet launched as we are still surveying demand. Read below to learn more about our Academics plans, and let us know if this could bless your family in the coming years! In the meantime, our K-6 Homeschool Enrichment Program is underway.
Church-Based Hybrid
You have time for that trip to the mountains! Families are considered home school families by the state of Colorado.
Curricula Covered
SCA maps out the full curricula scope and sequence - providing comprehensive support in planning, teaching, and grading. The time-tested Classical Christian education philosophy affirms a biblical worldview.
Cost-Affordable
Low overhead model gives parents and students everything they need (and nothing they don't) at a reasonable price.
The best of school and home.
Christian families desire a biblically-rooted education for their children. However, traditional Christian schooling options, especially in South Metro Denver, are expensive and inflexible.
Southside Classical Academy combines the expertise and accountability of a rigorous classical school with the flexibility and nurturing of homeschooling. Students meet in person 1-2 days per week and complete the assigned work at home under their parents' guidance. Full-time students, full-time support, part-time at school.
Equipping students for every good work.
Cultivating a love of wisdom and learning, we desire to see each student deepen their love of the Lord, passion for learning, and strength of character.
Primary Academy (K-2)
Meets on Tuesdays; Optional Guided Study on Wednesdays
Southside Classical Primary Academy is designed to prepare students for the Grammar Level of SCA. Students learn similar material to our Grammar Level, but without the pressure of formal grading. Classical subjects are taught with creative and hands-on methods.
Grammar Levels (3-4)
Meets on Tuesdays; Optional Guided Study on Wednesdays
The Grammar stage provides the foundation for future classical studies by building a framework of knowledge through each subject area (Art, Bible, Grammar, Latin, Literature, Science, World History). Questions of who, what, where, and when are the focus, and memorization is a key part of learning. At SCA we give students context for what they're memorizing because it lays a strong foundation for future learning in the Logic level.
Beyond Grade 4...
Our plan is to expand SCA one grade level every new school year. We appreciate your prayers that the Lord would provide adequate space and resources for this eventual expansion!
If you have a student entering into the 5th grade during our inaugural year, it may be possible to enroll them in our 4th grade starting class and cater coursework to their skill level.
While our academics program is in development, we are launching enrichment! Enrollment in now open for the 2024 school year.
As we prepare for our launch year, we are in the process of gathering interest from our community. To express interest in student enrollment or a staffing position, please complete our interest form.
