Christian School
Information about our School
Shawnee Mission Christian School is a Ministry of Olivet Baptist Church. Our school accommodates children grades K-12. We also have introduced Wee-Care which includes our infant and toddler unit, caring for children 6 weeks to 2 ½. In addition, we have 2 ½ to 4 year old care which includes our preschool program.
In Kindergarten through 6th grade we use the A Beka curriculum for instruction
We strive to make learning enjoyable by enhancing our academic studies throughout the school year, including field trips and special days at school.
For our Junior and Senor High School we use
curriculums from various publishers, including ABeka, Bob Jones University
press, Alpha and Omega LifePacs and Switched-On-Schoolhouse computer based
curriculum. In addition to the core subjects SMCS offers electives in the areas of vocal music, drama, foreign language
(Spanish and German), yearbook, computer and several courses using the LifePac
self-study curriculum. The school is also involved in interscholastic sports
with a girls' volleyball team and boy’s soccer team in the fall and girls' and
boys' basketball teams in the winter months. Students from
SMCS participate in the MAACS Fine Arts
Competition in the spring of the year.
Since our school is a ministry of Olivet Baptist Church, our Bible classes
reflect our beliefs as well as our standards. Our dress code is based on a sense
of uniformity and modesty. Our young men wear nice pants and collared shirts
and our young women wear dresses of knee length.
Associated with our school is the Discovery Program, a learning therapy program
developed by the National Institute of Learning Disabilities (NILD).
Arrangements can be made with Pastor Howard Bourdess, an NILD therapist, if you
have questions or desire to have your student tested in this area.
