The Summit Christian Academy will open its doors to kindergarten through fourth grade students this fall at the Leon Springs Presbyterian Church.

Principal Marilyn Graham said that 35 students are currently enrolled and the school will reach capacity at 75 students. SCA has five teachers, all of whom Graham says are professional educators. Graham worked for NEISD for 29 years including several years as an elementary school vice-principal. She said that the school hopes to move into its own separate building next year. Additional grade levels should be added at a rate of about two grades per year.

The school will employ a home school / classroom hybrid system known as the University-Model, in which students attend classes two days each week, one day of electives on campus and two days studying at home with parents. The core curriculum includes all the standard subjects but with a Biblical perspective on the subject. Those interested can visit the Web site www.scatx.net or call Graham at (210) 254-4534.
