History

In 1978, a few families decided to build a Christian school in Saskatoon and, in 1981, the Saskatoon Society for Christian Education was formed. The school opened in 1983, using three rented rooms at John Lake School, with 33 students, 2 staff and a K-8 program. The school moved to 2410 Haultain Avenue as tenants of the Saskatoon Full Gospel Church in 1985.

In 1993, SCS received Accredited School status from the Saskatchewan Department of Education. In the following year, the school introduced Grade 9 into its curriculum. In 1999, SCS was accepted as an “associate school” with Saskatoon Public School Division which allowed the school to receive partial funding and access to school division resources. In 2002, the school added Grades 10 to 12 to its curriculum.

In 2003, the school's current facility was built on 37 acres of land. Student enrollment reached 350 in 2010, prompting the school to expand its facilities to include four additional classrooms, a fine arts room and a multi-purpose auditorium.[1]
