Seattle Christian School is inviting prospective families to explore its kindergarten-through-12th-grade education programs during two open houses scheduled for November 12, 2026, and February 4, 2027. Both events will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the school’s SeaTac campus, providing an opportunity for parents and students to meet faculty, examine academic offerings and learn about enrollment requirements. The schedule was outlined in a November 5 announcement published by The SeaTac Blog and is confirmed on the school’s official admissions website.

The school is located at 18301 Military Road South in SeaTac, near the Interstate 5 corridor. It serves families from several communities in the greater Seattle area, including Kent, Federal Way, Des Moines, Burien, Normandy Park and West Seattle. Its campus accommodates elementary, middle and high school students in one location. That arrangement allows families with children in different grade levels to consider a single school community and provides a continuous educational pathway from kindergarten through graduation.

During the open houses, visitors will be able to tour the campus and interact with teachers, administrators, current students and parents. Representatives from the school’s admissions, student support and finance departments are also expected to attend. Their participation will allow prospective families to discuss educational programs, available services, tuition arrangements and application procedures. The events are designed as opportunities for families to gather information before deciding whether to pursue enrollment.

The November 12 gathering is particularly relevant to families planning for the 2027-28 academic year. Seattle Christian School’s website states that applications for that school year are open. The February 4 event provides another opportunity for families who are exploring their options later in the admissions cycle. The school has not presented the open-house dates as application deadlines, and families should distinguish between attending an informational event and submitting a completed enrollment application.

Seattle Christian School has operated for approximately eight decades and describes itself as the first nondenominational Christian school established in the greater Seattle area. Its educational philosophy integrates biblical teaching into conventional academic subjects, extracurricular activities and student development. The institution emphasizes academic preparation alongside religious instruction, community participation and personal responsibility. The faith-centered approach is a defining feature for prospective families comparing private religious schools with other educational options.

At the elementary level, the school emphasizes smaller learning environments and continuity between grade levels. Its kindergarten classrooms occupy a designated area within the elementary wing, while students also participate in activities such as physical education, music and library instruction. The school’s sixth-grade program is structured as a transition between elementary and middle school. Students retain some elementary-level activities while gradually experiencing subject-based class changes and selected middle-school experiences.

The middle school serves seventh- and eighth-grade students. According to the school’s published academic information, its program combines academic instruction with Christian spiritual development and opportunities for students to strengthen critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. The school describes its approach as one that connects academic knowledge with ethical considerations and service. Prospective families can use the open houses to learn how this educational model is implemented across classrooms and how students are prepared for high school coursework.

For high school students, Seattle Christian School offers a college-preparatory curriculum that includes Advanced Placement and dual-credit opportunities. The school’s high school website currently lists 10 AP classes and six dual-credit offerings. These programs provide students with opportunities to pursue more advanced coursework before graduation. Dual-credit courses can allow eligible students to earn college credit while completing high school requirements, although recognition of credits ultimately depends on the policies of receiving colleges and universities.

The high school also provides access to enrichment opportunities, including specialized coursework associated with the Puget Sound Skills Center. Outside traditional classroom instruction, students can participate in athletics, fine arts and other school activities. The school describes its performing arts and athletic programs as important parts of its broader educational experience. Families attending an open house can learn more about which activities are available at particular grade levels, including participation expectations and scheduling requirements.

Religious education remains central to the school’s operations. Bible instruction, chapel activities and other faith-based experiences are incorporated into student life. At the high school level, Seattle Christian School also operates an InterSCession program involving weeklong service, mission or study experiences. These activities are intended to connect classroom learning with practical experiences and community engagement. For parents evaluating the school, understanding how religious instruction interacts with academic expectations may be an important part of determining whether its approach fits their educational priorities.

The school reports an average class size of approximately 18 students on its published institutional information pages. It also emphasizes faculty qualifications and individualized attention as components of its educational model. Such figures provide useful context, although actual enrollment and class sizes may vary by grade level and academic year. Families seeking information about a particular classroom or program can obtain more specific details from school administrators during the upcoming events.

Financial considerations are another significant part of the admissions process. As a private institution, Seattle Christian School charges tuition and publishes information about costs, discounts and financial assistance on its website. Its Indexed Tuition program provides reduced tuition to qualifying families based on financial circumstances. The school explains that awards are limited, depend on eligibility and do not cover the entire cost of attendance. Families requiring tuition assistance must complete a separate financial application in addition to the regular admissions process.

According to the school’s financial assistance guidance, new families seeking Indexed Tuition are encouraged to apply concurrently with their admissions applications. The school uses FACTS Grant and Aid, a third-party service, to review financial information. Financial assistance is not guaranteed by admission, and admission itself is not guaranteed by financial eligibility. During the open houses, finance representatives are expected to be available to discuss the school’s financial arrangements, making the events relevant to families evaluating the affordability of private education.

The general admissions process begins with an online application and the submission of supporting records. Seattle Christian School lists teacher and faith recommendation forms, previous report cards, recent standardized testing results and verified immunization information among its application requirements. Certain applicants must also provide transcripts or disciplinary records where applicable. The school says application priority depends on completion of the required documentation. Following acceptance, families must complete enrollment paperwork and submit the applicable enrollment fee to secure a student’s place.

For prospective students who want to experience a regular school day, Seattle Christian School offers an additional visiting opportunity called Warrior for a Day. The program is available to students in grades four through 11 and allows participants to spend part of a school day on campus. Students can attend classes and chapel activities and interact with potential classmates. The school also provides personalized campus tours on many school days and during the summer, giving families alternatives if they cannot attend either scheduled open house.

The November and February events take place as the institution is accepting applications for the next academic year while also identifying limited openings for 2026-27. According to its website, kindergarten-through-sixth-grade applicants may inquire about current-year openings, while students in grades seven through 12 may inquire about second-semester entry. Availability depends on the relevant grade and should be confirmed directly with the admissions office. The school has not indicated that attending an open house guarantees a place in any class.

The November 5 announcement appeared in The SeaTac Blog as sponsored content, meaning the original presentation was promotional rather than independently reported. The event dates, campus location and visiting opportunities are also listed on Seattle Christian School’s official website. Statements about the school’s educational strengths, community characteristics and institutional performance should therefore be understood as information provided by the school unless independently verified.

Families interested in attending can register through the school’s official Visit SCS webpage at https://www.seattlechristian.org/admissions/visit-scs. Additional enrollment information is available through the admissions department, which can be reached at 206-246-8241 or [email protected]. The school recommends arranging visits and completing the necessary admissions steps through its official channels. Both open houses are scheduled for 6:30 p.m., with the first taking place on November 12 and the second on February 4, 2027.

The two events provide prospective students and their families with an opportunity to evaluate Seattle Christian School’s academic programs, religious environment, extracurricular opportunities and financial requirements before making enrollment decisions. For families considering a continuous K-12 education within a private Christian institution, direct conversations with school personnel and a firsthand campus visit can provide information beyond what is available through published admissions materials.
