Cultivating excellence with a heart for God.
Shepherd Christian School is a Pre-K through 8th Grade, discipleship-model covenant school in Northern Virginia — partnering with parents to shepherd the hearts and academics of every student.
Shepherding the hearts and academics of every student.
We equip every child with a proven academic foundation, a heart shaped by Scripture, and the character to lead and serve. Small classes. Joyful learning. A true partnership with parents who have a real voice in their children's education.
Portrait of a Learner
We desire for every student to daily display the Gospel. Each student is challenged to have a servant heart for Jesus and the community. With a high level of academic excellence, each student will be equipped to enter upper grades and beyond with a Christian worldview that engages and interacts with the culture around them.
At SCS, students are shown the love of learning and encouraged to have a lifelong desire to pursue knowledge. By the time a student at SCS graduates 8th grade, they will have shown above average academic performance, cultivated Godly character, developed leadership skills, and be equipped to “always be ready to give an answer for the hope they have.”
Our core commitments.
Biblical Worldview
A Christ-centered worldview is integrated into every subject — weekly chapel, daily Bible class, Scripture memorization, and a monthly Christian character focus.
Joyful Learning
Small classes, hands-on science labs, weekly music, art, and PE, and DMV field trips that bring history to life.
Partnering with Parents
As a discipleship-model covenant school, parents have a real voice — we walk alongside families for the long journey.
