Building Conquerors

A Year in Review

SCS Families,

Reflecting on the past year at Schaumburg Christian School, we are grateful for God's unwavering goodness. Guided by the truth of Romans 8:37, we celebrate that through Christ's love, our students and community have overcome challenges and achieved remarkable growth. His presence has been evident in every aspect of our school, from the safety and health of our community to the many moments of learning and spiritual enrichment.

Spiritual Growth:
Our theme of “Level Up” from Colossians 2:6-7 was also evident in the students’ spiritual lives. To understand God’s goodness and begin to accept Him into our lives, we guided our students through the New City Catechism. Throughout th year, we have witnessed Bible studies started by the students, families draw closer to Him, and even see students beginning to understand true thankfulness in life comes from accepting Christ into our lives and walking daily alongside His word and in prayer.

Academic Growth:
Throughout the school year, our students have succeeded in our academically rigoureus classes. Our elementary students had hands-on lessons demonstrating God’s love for us through creation, our middle schoolers visited the state capital to see our government in action, and our high school students had some of the highest SAT scores in school history. We had a few IACS state champions, one national champion, and two runner-ups. We thank our staff for walking alongside our students’ educational growth.

Social Growth:
Our students have interacted with one another through service and dedication. Our elementary students have focused on the foundations of social interactions to ensure they are an example for everyone around them. Our middle schoolers have cultivated a leadership culture by organizing school events led by the student council. In our first year of a high school servant-leadership model, our high schoolers have amassed over 400+ community service hours.

Each administrative team member wrote a short testimony about how God worked in the student's hearts and minds this year.

We thank God for His continued blessings and guidance. With His help, Schaumburg Christian School will continue to thrive, nurturing students to grow academically, socially, and spiritually and preparing them to be conquerors in all aspects of their lives for His glory. Here's to another year of experiencing and sharing God's unending love and grace!

Thank You,
Marc Popovici
School Administrator

Highlights

Preschool - 3rd Grade

Over 500 students walked the hallways and learned in the classrooms of the Early Education Center of Schaumburg Christian School. From the end of August to the end of May, so many achievements have been made.

At the beginning of the school year some of our preschool and pre-kindergarten students were filled with tears and fears as their parents dropped them off in a new environment. However, the teachers and students soon became a little family and many days parents were waiting with students who didn't want to leave school. The administration is so thankful for dedicated teachers who pour their hearts into making learning fun.

Some of the biggest smiles this year could be seen as the preschool - kindergarten students enjoyed activities and special days including: playing games at Pumpkin Days, dressing up for special days, releasing butterflies, practicing for programs, making special crafts, playing in the tunnels and playground, learning the ABCs and 123s and using those skills to read and add and subtract. Ending the year with a Spring Program with students singing praise to God as their Creator was the greatest joy of the year.

Our first - third graders built on their skills and achieved great things academically, socially, and spiritually. Reading with fluency, writing more detailed sentences, solving complex problems, discovering new concepts, caring for others, and deepening the understanding of God and His Word were achievements that students gained throughout the year. Much evidence of the students’ learning could be viewed as you walked the halls and saw the students participating in themed days and displaying reports, projects, and stories. The students are to be commended for their growth and achievements.

4th - 8th Grade

As we reflect on this academic year, I am thrilled to share with you the remarkable growth and achievements of our students in all aspects of their lives: spiritually, academically, and socially.

Spiritual Growth:
At our school, we believe in fostering a nurturing environment where students can explore and deepen their spiritual journey. Through daily reflections, prayer sessions, and engaging in acts of service, our students have demonstrated a profound understanding of compassion, empathy, and respect for one another. Their commitment to upholding our core values is a testament to their growing spirituality and moral character.

At Schaumburg Christian School our students' classrooms provide an opportunity for spiritual growth, reflection, and personal connection with God’s word. Students are given the opportunity to deepen and develop a relationship with Christ. Our school aims to integrate faith into all aspects of the day.

Students in 4th-8th grade have chapel once a week Chapel services are a dedicated time where students engage in a time of prayer, worship, and reflection. It offers an opportunity for spiritual nourishment and growth. Middle school students have praise chapel on Fridays. Praise Chapel offers a space for students to actively engage with their faith and participate in worship.

Academic Growth:

Academically, our students have excelled beyond expectations. Through rigorous coursework, innovative teaching methodologies, and personalized support, they have achieved significant milestones and academic excellence. Whether it be mastering complex mathematical concepts, conducting scientific experiments, or crafting compelling literary analyses, our students have demonstrated a thirst for knowledge and a dedication to academic excellence that is truly commendable.

The fifth-grade class worked on the Wax Museum project this quarter. This activity required the students to identify the significant contributions of a famous or not-so-famous person. In selecting a person, the students found someone of historical significance; someone who has been successful in their goals and dreams; and/or someone who represents the “best” of people and the world. The students completed a research project and memorized a speech. The “living wax museum” was a collection of visual displays where students, dressed as famous individuals, stand at attention, while visitors walk around and tour exhibits illustrating the life of the person represented.

Social Growth:
In addition to their spiritual and academic growth, our students have also made tremendous strides in their social development. Through extracurricular activities, clubs, and collaborative projects, they have cultivated meaningful relationships and developed strong communication skills. Their ability to work collaboratively, resolve conflicts, and demonstrate maturity and social awareness.

Schaumburg Christian Middle School took a field trip to Feed My Starving Children in November. This field trip provided a tangible way for our students to address real-world issues. It allowed them to witness firsthand the challenges faced by those less fortunate in our communities, fostering empathy, and compassion towards others. It encouraged our students to reflect on their blessings and foster a deeper appreciation for what they have. By taking part in packing meals, students learn the importance of teamwork, cooperation, and problem-solving as they work together to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others.

High School

It has been another awesome year at Schaumburg Christian High School as we continue to train leaders for the glory of God! The class of 2024 graduated 41 students, each having received excellent academic and spiritual preparation as they head to universities across the country this fall. Hearing the testimonies of our seniors at graduation was truly a blessing, as they recounted how God used Schaumburg Christian School as a vital part of their spiritual, social, and academic development. Alumni from previous years continue to express gratitude for their academic and spiritual training at SCS, which provided outstanding preparation for college and life.

This year, our juniors and seniors completed over 40 college courses through our College Dual Credit program, earning 144 college credit hours! This unique opportunity at SCS not only gives our students a significant head start on college but also saves them thousands of dollars in future tuition costs.

In our ongoing endeavor to train leaders, we added 11 new clubs this year and saw a record number of students participating in clubs! Additionally, our new Conqueror Community Service program had a fantastic start, with 22 students logging over 415 hours of voluntary community service.

Though this year is quickly drawing to a close, we are excited to implement our plans for next year, including new courses in Business, AP World History, Graphic Design, Criminal Justice, and more! Whether in the classroom, on athletic teams, in fine arts programs, in Bible class and chapel, or one of the countless other aspects of SCS, we eagerly anticipate how God will continue to build leaders for His glory at Schaumburg Christian High School.

~ Mark McVey, High School Principal

As Dean of Students, I truly enjoyed witnessing the charitable acts of our students outside of normal school hours. Whether it be through our SCS Student Council's before-school Adopt-a-Highway campaigns for the Village of Schaumburg, or via our Chick-fil-A Leader Academy's after-school Fun Fair Fundraiser for Samaritan's Purse, those events reminded me of why we do what we do - and of the difference that we're trying to make in our students' lives and in their/our local community!

~ Scott Hoffman, Dean of Students

Vision For The Future

Spiritual, Academic, & Social Enhancements

Spiritual

Next year, our school will focus on studying the book of Romans in our chapel sessions to deeply understand why we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
We will start high school discipleship groups to help our students develop as school leaders and mature as Christians. These groups are designed to cultivate positive relationships with our students while we explain, encourage, and engage Biblical leadership.

Academics

We will be implementing our new math books from BJU Press.
Additionally, we have introduced two new high school courses: Intro to Business and Graphic Design.
We will also be emphasizing Biblical integration across all core subjects and reviewing the scope and sequence of our Bible courses.

Social

We will be implementing a unified disciplinary system across the entire school. You can view the full revamp here. Students at Schaumburg Christian should demonstrate:
1. Self-Control (2 Timothy 1:7)
2. Respect (1 Peter 2:17)
3. Obedience (Titus 3:1)
4. Purity (Philippians 4:8)
5. Integrity (Proverbs 10:9)
We look forward to building out our social/spiritual services with our Biblical Counselors.
Cell phones will be prohibited during school.
We have made some adjustments to our dress code. Female students will be allowed to wear leggings as long as their tops are longer than fingertip length when their arms are at their sides. Additionally, pajama pants will be prohibited for all students.

Facility & Security Upgrades

Unfinished Hallways: This past year we received over 300 lockers for our middle school area. Currently, we are communicating with schools and donor to receive desks and other classroom equipment to ensure the buildout is not a financial strain on our budget. The goal will be to have our unfinished hallways completed by the start of the 25-26 school year. We cannot achieve this goal without our parent and community support. With the addition of these classes, we'll be able to provide 10 more classes for future enrollment growth.
Art Room: We are making plans to rehab one of our old, unused rooms to be an additional classroom for our arts program. In this room, our elementary students will have a class personalized for them while leaving space for our high schoolers space to have graphic design class.
Security: Officer Dailly alongside the administration have been working on the facility's security plans to ensure our students remain safe and secure.
Athletic Facilities: We have begun the process of changing out the lights in the Life Center Gym and the project will be completed by the start of next school year. We are planning to purchase record boards, and we are developing plans to redo our gym floors within the next few years. The funding for our athletic facility renovations is generated from facility rentals.
Health Office: Health offices will be moving to a cloud-based health portal upgrade to our current documentation system. This will allow for digital uploading of files, notifications of visits, and seamless communication throughout the day for ailments and injuries. Please watch your email for enrollment information this summer. Updates to policies, health record management, and medication management are also currently in development to ensure optimal wellness and care for students and staff throughout the school day.
