Thank
you for your interest in Saddleback Christian Academy.
Established
in 1987, Saddleback
Christian Academy (SCA) is made up of about 150 Christian
families, mostly from south Orange County, who take
full responsibility for their children’s education.
It is our focus to aid the Christian home schooling
family in preparing well-rounded students who will
be able to acknowledge the sovereign God in all spheres
of life.
SCA
offers a wide variety of support activities and resources
to our home schooling families, including monthly parent
(faculty) meetings, field trips, record keeping, testing,
special events, assemblies, Speech meetings that use the
Toastmasters International Youth Leadership curriculum,
and supplementary classes. Through SCA, students are eligible
to compete in ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International)
activities such as spelling bees and competitive speech
tournaments. Our success depends upon the families of the
school coming together to help serve in different capacities.
SCA files an affidavit as a private school with the state
of California each year. Parents with SCA are required to
select their own curriculum/course of study for their children,
submit monthly attendance sheets and quarterly report cards,
to attend our monthly meetings, to participate in student
testing for grades 3 and up, to be members of The Home School
Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), and to serve our school
in some capacity during the school year.
At
this time, tuition is $35 monthly for one student,
$50 for two students, and $65 for three or more students.
Elementary classes (such as choir, chess, or hands-on
space science) typically meet 8 times in the fall,
10 times in the winter, and 6 times in the spring.
These classes are about $6 per class meeting (i.e.
$60 for six classes, in addition to your tuition.)
Many of our families also meet together outside the
school to “team-teach” a class with their
children. Junior and Senior High classes vary depending
on the year, and run on a more traditional school
schedule, usually meeting once a week. In previous
years, math, sciences, Spanish, choir, art, competitive
speech and debate, and world views classes have been
offered. Junior and Senior High fees typically run
from $20-$40 monthly, per class. In addition to classes,
monthly activities (bowling, service projects, Super
Bowl party, etc.) are available to our junior high
or high school students.
Registration

which will be held on Monday night, May 5, 2008 at 6:45
PM, at Crossroads Community Church in Mission Viejo. If

school year will be June 2, 2008. May God bless you on your
home schooling journey.
Thank
you again for you interest in Saddleback Christian
Academy. If there is any other way I may be of help
to you, please let me know. May God guide you and
give you peace in you home schooling journey.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Olson
Assistant Administrator
