Beyond the Basics
South Side Christian
School offers a great variety of extra curricular activities.
Spiritual Life
In addition to our daily Bible lessons, we worship together in our weekly chapel. We also teach our children to put their faith into action by conducting food drives and other service projects.
Drama & Music
We use our gifts to produce two musical productions each Christmas and Spring. We offer band for students in 4th-7th grade. In our after school clubs Drama is offered one to two times a year.
School Competitions
SSCS competes in the CCSD Spelling Bee, CCSD Speech & Word Festival, and the CCSD Math Olympics with other Christian School and home-schools within the Christian Cooperation School District in Missouri.
Family Events
The PTO sponsors many events throughout the year for families to get together and have fun! We have enjoyed Family Fun Nights (Science experiment oriented), All School Skate Party, Warm Up and Read Night (Coupled with the Scholastic Book Fair the PTO hosts), Dinner Auction/Talent Show, Spring Celebration (Magic House in 2006), and much more!
Educational Assemblies & Guest Speakers
The SSCS PTO sponsors several educational assemblies each year, where special guest speakers are brought in to enrich the students' learning experience. We have hosted Bobby Norfolk, a world renowned story teller, St. Louis University Science, Cicoff the Jester (Christian stories told through juggling), and many more.
