5/5 stars. Absolutely love this school. Enrolling in this school was the best decision we could ever make for our kids. The teachers truly care about the student as people. The education my kids have received is top notch. They are teaching me as the parent.

Our family has had a very positive experience at this school. Both of our children have been loved and nurtured and have no desire to be at any other school. The strong community and loving environment make it a great school to be a part of. I have seen tremendous academic, social, emotional, and spiritual growth in both of my students during their time at SECS.

As a grandparent of a student in kindergarten, I am very impressed with the communication from Mrs. Debel. She genuinely cares how each child is progressing and makes sure each child's needs are met. Teaching God's Word and living it out in the classroom shows a true commitment to Jesus. We are blessed to be part of Southeast Christian School as grandparents!

My son has been attending Southeast preschool program for 2 years. He has thrived here and cannot wait to start Kindergarten here! Christ-centered, kingdom focus and extremely dedicated staff are some of the best things about Southeast Christian School!

I was a student from Southeast that went to Southeast since preschool, was held back in 1st grade, and also met his favorite teachers ever. I am Samuel Jensen who graduated from 8th grade this year. This school used to be a great school. From what I saw and experienced from my leadership class is that the Elementary in the 2017 and 2018 year is good but the middle school is mediocre at best. The curriculum was good and the teachers were good as well. But the administrations leading the the school is leading the school in the wrong way. Change is necessary as emphasized by the school, but it is not always for the better. The Headmaster accused the kids that were talking in chapel that they "might not follow God" and even the kids who weren't talking still got accused for not telling other kids to be quiet. They shouldn't have been talking, but that doesn't mean they don't follow God and accusing them of that was extremely rude and un-called for. That was one of the first signs of many that lead me to believe that the future years it was not gonna be a good year. Three of my favorite teachers left the school because it was in the "red" for money. The other was kicked from the school. She has said so herself. And 1 of those two was one out of the 8 that is leaving this year. I do believe that God is leading this school in the direction he wants, but it is not the way the administration is expecting it to. I also believe that he can perform a miracle and change the school from its ways. I think that the changes That will be coming will demolish it as well but only time will tell. -God bless,Samuel Jensen

We love the commitment from the school to provide our children with a strong faith based academic program. We had one child that attended DougCo schools in Parker and Castle Rock. The difference is clear in both the academics and values system within the school. It's wonderful to see teachers that aren't forced to teach common core curriculum. This isn't a Christian school in name only. My kids have a better understanding of scripture than I do. It's a small community and that takes a little getting use to. When you first start here all the students and parents already know each other. That can seem overwhelming, but there are multiple opportunities throughout the year to meet and socialize with everyone. The recently updated on-boarding process for new families makes it easier to get acclimated quickly.

Caring faculty- excellent curriculum and offerings for advanced students. Christ- centered focus drives the culture. Our family loves it here!

This was our first year at Southeast and we will definitely not be coming back. The communication between staff and parents was terrible. And if you weren't part of one of their little "cliques" be prepared to for you AND your child to be ignored. Also expect to pay way more than just your tuition. The students are always (AT LEAST once a month) coming home with some type of "fundraiser" or "school gift" or something you need to give more money to. I'd sure like to know what they do with the several thousand dollars PER STUDENT they get each year that they still need to suck more money out of us. Unfortunately the staff and their attitude, gossiping, and straight-up lack of respect or concern for parents and students made this year horrible. They are the reason Christians get a bad name. We have lived here over 20 years and we chose to ignore all the warnings about this school...should have listened because we could have saved thousands and our child's dignity. If you thinking about going here, don't. Don't waste your time. Don't subject your child to these people. Take your money elsewhere! Trust me. Your kids deserve better!

I just graduated from 8th grade at Southeast. I had gone there since I was three years old, and always loved it. The teachers communicate with you if your grades begin to slip, or if you need help with something. I loved having small classes, as I got to know each of my classmates on a deeper level than most schools. I was very close with all of them. I could not be more pleased with my 11 years spent at Southeast. I will forever hold southeast as a special place in my heart!

We have been going to this school for 3 years and absolutely love it. There is such a sense of community here. The teacher communication with parents is amazing. We receive weekly emails on how are child is doing. If you need anything the teachers are very prompt to respond. The teachers and administration really care for the children. I feel completely comfortable having my children in their care. Spiritually this is a great school as well. The love for God is felt throughout the school. Academics is rigorous, but it would be in any school that does well academically. We searched several schools and found that if you are looking for a Christian school that is successful academically and has staff that love their jobs and truly care for your children, this is the school for you.

The staff here is nothing short of amazing and I can't imagine a group of people more committed to educating students and working with parents to shape kids into solid contributing members of society. The small class size (15-20 students) is something we specifically sought out and found at Southeast. Academics are rigorous, but appropriate and the #1 reason we continue to reenroll each year. I can't say enough about the skills of the teachers who put in time and effort far above and beyond what they have to do. The educators here want your kids to succeed and there is very much an attitude of 'It takes a village' which I personally like. The cons: The school is not working mom friendly. There are frequent meetings, programs and events that happen during the school day or around the dinner hour. The before and after program is limited and of no use to parents who need care prior to 7:30a.m. or after 5:00p.m. The volunteer requirement is no joke at 40 hours per school year or $350 payable at the end of they year. Also be prepared with your checkbook. There is always something to buy, pay for or contribute to and donor fatigue sets in quickly.

Great school. Great teachers with so much love and attention to each and every children. And yes, it is not an easy school to get all A's. Your child WILL need to study here. No free grades.

This is my first year at SEC and I am very disappointed. The school is very unorganized and have little sense to maintain consistent communication with the parents, the teachers are inconsistent with their assignment guidelines and test taking. They have a new principal this year, which I was told by him that his is the 4th Principal in the last 5 years. It is very apparent by the way things are poorly executed. Unfortunately, this inconsistency is starting to undermine my children's self confidence. The administrative structure has a "head-master", a Principal and no Vice - Principal. The grading scale is not the standard 100-90 =A, 89-80=B instead it's: 100=A+,A=98-95,A-=94%,B+=93,B=92-87. I, suspect in a few years, if this Principal is still around, they will be a note worthy school but until then, I can not allow my children to be part of this learning curve. We will not be returning next year.

We have been sending our children to Southeast Christian for 3 yrs. The preschool is THE BEST you will find in Dougls county. Staff is incredibly experienced, Christ centered, focused and loving. They have high standards, personal accountability, strong educational foundation and a great group of children and families. People sending their children there sacrifice a great deal to do and therefore are very involved and supportive in their education. The new principal is unbelievable and is taking the school to an all new level. Exciting things are happening ands the best reward is having your children come home excited about school, sharing what they have learned and ready go do again the next day. They offer a before and after school program for working parents. Sports programs such as volleyball and basketball. The art program is outstanding. The music program is unparalleled the Christmas program is something out of a storybook. The performances are to a standard that I have never seen at these ages. Pray about it and see if God wants you to send your kids to this awesome school!

Amazing, loving staff, rigorous academics, bible based teaching. The most wonderful group of parents and sense of community we have ever experienced. Your child does need to be able to keep up academically, but that is a plus to us. If your child struggles a bit, this may not be the place for you.

Southeast Christian is a wonderful school. The teachers and staff really care about the children. Our kids are thriving both academically and spiritually here.

My children are receiving an amazing education at Southeast! One of my kids is able to work many years above his grade level, and his needs are met. My other child needed help reaching grade level in certain areas, and his needs have been met as well. I can't say enough about the caring faculty and staff! If you want your child to be supported educationally, cared for personally and enhance their relationship with the lord, Southeast Christian is the school for you!

Very high standards. Our kids have thrived here. In public school they teach down to the above average kids and they get lost in the shuffle. They teach to your childs ability here. We are thrilled with the education they are getting.

We love our school! Education here is top rate and our kids are getting prepared for a life with Christ as well as strong academics. The public school we came from cannot even begin to compare and our kids were bored.
