"Finding a education plan that precisely matched our child’s learning needs/style was why we chose the part-time option. The American education system is changing and currently has so many options. Thinking about what our child needs first and then designing the high school curriculum was exciting to develop with Southwest Christian High School. We have been so appreciative of the staff’s communication and expertise. We are thrilled with our relationship to Southwest and see a tremendous benefit with the homeschool and Christian culture classroom, a real 'sweet spot' for our child and family."

"SWCHS truly offers a personalized and individualized approach to working with students and families who desire a non-traditional education. The admissions staff worked closely with our family to find a schedule that met our student's individual needs, without compromising her academic goals and path. They offer numerous options for core curriculum, as well as many electives to supplement a home-schooling option. The students and staff are so welcoming to non-traditional students. They went above and beyond to help our student acclimate into as much of the student life and activity as desired."
