Academics

Academic Excellence Rooted in Faith

At SWCHS, we believe that education is most impactful when it integrates rigorous academics with a strong biblical worldview. Our curriculum emphasizes six core areas of study: English, History, Bible/Theology, Mathematics, Science, and World Languages. This foundation ensures that students are well-prepared for college and beyond, equipped with critical thinking skills and a solid moral compass.

Teaching for Transformation

Our unique Teaching for Transformation (TfT) framework encourages students to see their studies through the lens of God's story. Each faculty member shares a "deep hope" for their students, aiming to connect classroom content with real-world applications and spiritual insights. This approach cultivates a transformative educational experience, empowering students to live out their faith in all aspects of life.

Dual Enrollment Opportunities

To further enhance academic growth, SWCHS offers Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) in partnership with Crown College and University of Northwestern-St. Paul. This program allows eligible juniors and seniors to earn college credits while completing their high school education, providing a head start on higher education within a supportive, Christ-centered environment.

Advanced Placement and Honors Courses

We offer a variety of Advanced Placement (AP) and Honors courses across multiple disciplines, challenging students to reach their highest potential. Our commitment to academic excellence is reflected in our students' achievements, with a 95% AP exam pass rate.

Comprehensive Student Support

Understanding that each student is unique, SWCHS provides robust support services to address diverse learning needs. Our Learning Lab offers personalized assistance for students with identified learning differences, ensuring they receive the guidance and resources necessary to thrive in a college-preparatory environment.
