For more than six decades, Sarasota Christian School (SCS) has held to a clear calling, growing from fifteen students meeting at Tuttle Mennonite Church in 1958 to a thriving Pre-K through 12th grade community of approximately 840 students drawn from well over a hundred area congregations. Rooted in its Anabaptist heritage and accredited by FACCS, SCS lives out a mission to equip students with a Love for Christ, a Passion to Learn, the Courage to Lead, and a Commitment to Serve.

Faith is woven into the daily rhythm of life at SCS — through daily prayer and devotions, weekly Chapel, a biblically infused curriculum, Spiritual Emphasis Days, and a High School Retreat that deepens students' relationship with Christ.
SCS challenges students academically through Honors and AP offerings, Dual Enrollment courses, the AP Capstone and Blazer Honors Diplomas, and participation in academic competitions like the FACCS Spelling Bee and National History Day.
Students step into leadership through Student Council, the National Honor Society, Yearbook, and Athletics — building the conviction and confidence to lead well beyond their years at SCS.
From the Worship Team to disaster relief efforts, food drives, and Operation Christmas Child, SCS instills a lifelong posture of service — reinforced by a 150-service-hour graduation requirement.
