Description: Savannah Christian is an independent, nondenominational Christian school for students in prekindergarten through 12th grade. The school’s college prep curriculum produces above-average SAT scores and a college placement rate of 100 percent, and school spokespeople say Savannah Christian also seeks “to glorify God by partnering with families, churches, and the local community in educating future generations through Christ-centered training, application, and example.”Savannah Christian maintains two campuses. The 254-acre Chatham Parkway campus hosts nearly 1,000 lower- and upper-school students and 160 day-care/preschool students. Facilities include 13 buildings with classrooms, labs, media centers, a gym, and a cafeteria; an outdoor pool; a track; five athletic fields; three playgrounds; and E.D.E.N. (Ecological Diversity for Educational Networking), a 125-acre outdoor learning center. A 14-acre campus on eastern DeRenne Avenue is home to more than 500 lower- and middle-school students, and facilities there include four buildings with classrooms, labs, media centers, a cafeteria, and two gyms. The school launches a fund-raising campaign yearly and continually upgrades its facilities and offerings with the proceeds.
