[edit] School history
Southwest Covenant Schools was launched in 1982 as a non-denominational Christian School. The school initially offered instruction to children in pre-school through sixth grade. In 1984 SWCS expanded through the eighth grade. In 1991, the school added grades 9-12. The first senior class graduated in 1996. SWCS moved into a new secondary facility in 1996. Until then the school conducted classes for grades six through twelve at Trinity Baptist Church in Yukon and Putnam City Baptist Church in Warr Acres, until they built their own facility in the fall of 1996.
[edit] 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.
[edit] 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, volleyball, and soccer.
