SCCS Students Take Their British Literature Class Abroad
The walls have come down and the roof is off in Santa Clarita Christian School’s British literature classroom. Fifty, eleventh grade students and chaperones travelled across the pond for nine days in April touring England from its northern parts in Haworth, to the heart of the country in London. Students spent the year in the classroom studying the literature of Britain from Bronte to Shakespeare, Shelley to Browning, and then set out to discover with their own eyes the rich historical context and landscape that inspired the best of the country’s literary offerings. SCCS’ British literary tour expanded the student’s
love for and understanding of some of the world’s greatest authors, but more importantly supported the object and reward of all who attend Santa Clarita Christian School – to provide a distinctive biblical worldview that grows its student’s affection for Christ and prepares them to live their convictions with integrity, confidence, and humility no matter where they are in the world. If you are looking for a school that will challenge your child academically, while fostering a Biblical worldview, then consider SCCS. With a low student-to-teacher ratio, competitive sports for grades K-12, dual enrollment and Advanced Placement classes and full and half day Kindergarten programs, SCCS students continue to matriculate into the nation’s top universities. SCCS is now enrolling for the 2017-18 school year. To schedule your campus tour today or for more information call 661-252-7371 or visit www.sccs.cc or facebook. com/SantaClaritaChristianSchool.
