COVID-19 Statement In the 2020-2021 school year, Southwest Christian School was fortunate to follow the traditional school calendar and provide a full year of in-person learning. Students temporarily unable to attend on-campus classes due to illness or COVID-19 exposure were able to attend class virtually and were held to the same academic standards and expectations as their on-campus peers.

Please note that the final nine weeks of the 2019-2020 school year required student participation in synchronous class meetings twice a week and completion of assignments and assessments through our learning management system. The evaluation of said assignments and assessments aligned with our standard measurements of student growth as used in previous years.
