Southeast Christian School

Background: My experience at Southeast Christian School is limited to middle school. For the last two years my oldest child attended 7^th and 8^th grade at Southeast and this year the next sibling in line transferred there for 7^th grade.
It’s interesting for me to experience SECS through the eyes of completely different kids. It’s as if the entire student body has been replaced when actually the filter has been replaced (albeit with the natural transition of the graduation class). It’s all about perspective…
What I love most about SECS’s middle school is the teachers! I love how they collaborate with each other. For example, in 7^th grade the language arts teacher works with the science teacher on a developing research paper skills. I also love the spiritual leadership provided by the middle school teachers. They’re the real deal!
A really cool new class this year is the STEM class! The school has invested significant money into the programmable LEGO robots the students are building. The science teacher is tough but really prepares our students well for high school science.
I do think there is some cherry-​picking happening with regard to volunteering. However, as the adult, I’m not worried about being in a clique. After all, I’m not the one in middle school. My experience has been that all of our students are loved and valued by these wonderful teachers.
With regard to participation in optional fund-​raisers, again, as the adult I make my own choices.
In summary, as a parent in Douglas County, Colorado I am blessed with a lot of choices in education. Not all schools meet the needs of all families or even all siblings within a family. In this mom’s experience, Southeast Christian School has been one of the best educational choices we’ve made!

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!
