chool History

Responding to the Lord’s leading to serve the community with a Christ-focused school, Southwest Covenant Schools was launched in 1982. The school initially offered instruction to children in pre-school through sixth grade. An attempt was made during school year 1984-85 to expand grade levels through the eighth grade. In 1991, our school leadership stepped out in faith by committing to add grades 9-12. We graduated our first senior class of three in 1996!A few of our historical highlights:

We moved into our new secondary facility in 1996. Up till then we were nomads in the secondary, conducting school for grades six through twelve at Trinity Baptist Church, Yukon, and Putnam City Baptist Church, Warr Acres, until the Lord blessed us with our own facility in the fall of 1996. We will always be grateful for the hospitality of our Brethren at Trinity and PCBC.

Education

The school's educational philosophy is based on the centrality of all truth coming from God and His Son, Jesus Christ, as revealed in the Bible. Southwest Covenant School's aim is to teach and instill a Biblical world view in the students, while also providing them with the knowledge needed to succeed in life. Since Jesus Christ is LORD, all education must center upon His sovereignty. Southwest Covenant School emphasizes excellence in education that permeates all areas of life.

The average cumulative ACT scores for all SWCS graduates is 25.92. The great majority of SWCS graduates have attended or are currently attending institutions of higher learning where they have enjoyed a great deal of success in their studies.

Athletics

The purpose and philosophy of the athletic program is to use athletics as a discipleship training ministry for equipping students for a lifetime of service to the LORD. We desire to accomplish this through an emphasis on the knowledge, character, perspective, and commitment of Christ to His world. SWCS participates in numerous sports including football, golf, tennis, basketball, and volleyball.
