Partner with SCCS for Your Child's Education

Seattle Classical Christian School Admissions Process

 

With great joy, I welcome you and invite you to learn more about Seattle Classical Christian School, where faith and wisdom meet a love of learning.

I chose SCCS for my children because I wanted their hearts to be shaped along with their minds, and I now serve in Admissions because I see firsthand the transformation that happens when students are known, loved, and challenged to pursue excellence—in learning and in life. I longed for a place where students thrive and families find community, and my family has found that here at SCCS.

I am here to help, and I can’t wait to learn more about you!

Admissions Director

 

1. Learn

Choosing a school for your child is a big decision. We invite you to learn more about SCCS, ask questions, and consider whether our approach may be a good fit for your family.

If you’d like to dig deeper, these are three helpful places to start:

Financial Aid Is Available
We want financial circumstances to be as little a barrier as possible for families seeking a gospel-centered education at SCCS. Learn more about tuition and financial aid.

2. Apply

Applications for the 2026-2027 school year are still open.

If, after learning more about SCCS, you believe our school may be a good fit for your family, we invite you to apply.

Complete the SCCS Family Application online. Students entering 4th grade and above will also complete a Student Questionnaire as part of the application.

A $125 application fee is due when you submit your Family Application.

A financial aid application should be submitted with, or before, the student application. A $45 application fee is due when submitting your Financial Aid Application.


Looking for Mid-Year Enrollment?

Mid-year enrollment may be available depending on grade-level space and a student's readiness to transition successfully into the current curriculum. Because every situation is different, we consider mid-year applications on a case-by-case basis.

If you're considering a mid-year transition, please contact Admissions. We'd be happy to learn more about your family, talk through current availability, and help you determine whether applying may be a good next step.

 

Admissions Timeline

NOV 1 – Financial Aid applications open

Early Jan – New Tuition and Fees Available

We continue accepting applications after this time as long as space is available.

 

3. Interview & Assessment

After your application is complete, we'll contact you to schedule a Family Interview and student assessment. The Family Interview gives us an opportunity to get to know your family more personally, hear about your hopes for your child's education, and talk together about SCCS's mission and approach.

The student assessment helps us better understand your child's academic readiness and where they may be best positioned to thrive within our curriculum.

Students entering 7th–12th grade will also be invited to spend a school day at SCCS as part of a Shadow Day.

Once these steps are complete, we review the application as a whole, considering academic readiness, family partnership, and whether we believe SCCS is a place where your child and family can thrive. We'll then communicate an admissions decision and next steps according to the timeline provided by the Admissions Office.

Academically it’s a healthy challenge but also coming from public school my kids really value this time to examine and gain confidence in their faith, knowing how much they’ll need to be equipped to engage the world and neighbors around them.
