Why SCA
Four Years That Shape a Lifetime
We help faith-filled young women form hearts to serve and minds to change the world.
Students are drawn to SCA for more than simply academic excellence. You’ll find SCA to be a school like no other. Every student is cherished as a beloved, irreplaceable daughter of God. All are given the confidence to reach higher and develop their unique God-given gifts – in the classroom, on the playing field, in student government, as servant leaders, and beyond. In every arena, our students are encouraged to reach higher, respond more fully, and lead lives of greater virtue, entering the world as compassionate, courageous, and confident women in whatever field they are called.

A Vibrant Student Life
Our students play an integral role in the life of the school community — and all students have an opportunity to lead. Our smaller class sizes provide opportunities for leadership within the classroom and in co-curricular activities including athletics, drama, robotics, and clubs. As an all-girls’ school, a girl occupies every role. She has a wealth of avenues for self-discovery and development, and a school full of role models.
