Our Staff
With a heart to put God back into education, our faculty strives to plant a love for and devotion to God into the next generation. Each staff member brings his/her talents to this wonderful place and puts them to work. Using a variety of teaching methods and tools, we try to help all students fulfill God’s purposes for their lives.
Our Students
All children are special gifts from God. Each has talents waiting to be discovered and used! Every day, our students are encouraged to overcome their areas of weakness and temper their areas of strength. No matter what is being done (academic work or chores), our boys and girls are encouraged to team up with Jesus Christ—our Savior—to develop characters like His.
Our History
Small Cloud Christian School is the result of impossible dreams made possible through faith. It all began as a dream--a dream of helping children learn about the Creator who made them.

Help us build some more walls for this busy place!
Just mark any donation: SCCS Remodel
Phase 1: Ideas to paper
We are currently sketching up plans and praying for funds!
Phase 2: Sketches to architect
The sketches have been sent to the architect. We are awaiting the arrival of plans to submit to the county. (The architect is donating his services.) And we continue to pray!
Our New Office
Prompted by God to build the office before the rest of the remodel, we are happy to report that the office was started and is almost finished! And it is completely paid for! Priase be to God! This office will now be the "command center" for the rest of the remodel project. Please keep this project in your prayers! 🙂

Gretchen has cooked thousands of awesome lunches and taught many Bible lessons to our younger students.
