Elementary School at South Hills Academy
South Hills Academy offers a well-rounded Christian-based program with small class sizes. We have earned a reputation for outstanding academics, and our students operate at a level above most other schools. Our teachers strive to build confidence and academic excellence. Each classroom teacher diligently plans instruction that targets individual learning needs by using a variety of academic resources and teaching strategies.
We emphasize Christian character and loving thy neighbor in our daily practices so that our school has a strong family atmosphere and students love coming to school to be with one another. Once a week, students attend a chapel service to focus on Christian lessons as a whole elementary school.
