Upper School (9-12)

The maximum number of students in each class section in 9^th through 12^th grades is 24, although most classes are smaller.

The biblically integrated curriculum is selected by SouthLake teachers from a variety of Christian and secular publishers, based on how well they fit the curriculum that we have developed. See the School Profile page for a complete listing of courses.

SouthLake Christian Academy seeks to embody the fullness of discipline through counsel, encouragement, teaching, and correction. The faculty desires a relationship with students that encourages redemption and reconciliation, illustrated by the gospel of Jesus Christ. SouthLake’s core values of joy, kindness, integrity, and respect are integrated into our discipline policies as desired outcomes and expectations.
