What is the history of the school?

Sioux Center Christian School has a rich history of serving the Lord.  Established in 1905, the school has educated students from a Reformed perspective for over 100 years and continues to do so today.  A dedicated faculty, staff, and board enjoy working with His covenant children, fullfilling the mission to develop in each of God's children a knowledge and understanding of Christ and His creation so that they can obediently serve God and others as they work and play.  We look forward to discussing with you what God is doing through Sioux Center Christian School!
