  • Brittany Samp, Parent

    We had a lot of different options when it came to choose a school. Southwest Chicago Christian was our first and last stop because we were so impressed from the moment we set foot on campus. It feels like home.

  • Faith Triemstra, Kindergarten Teacher

    Knowing God has called me to teach young kindergarteners gives me great joy and purpose. Each day I look forward to exploring God’s incredible creation with the precious children God has placed in my classroom.

  • Rebecca Rael, Preschool Teacher

    Students demonstrate a curiosity for learning. I love encouraging that curiosity. It’s exciting to see their interest expand to things they didn’t think they wanted to learn about, or things they didn’t think they could learn about.
