A Change of Heart

 Tim and Pamela Salzarulo’s first child Ella began her Kindergarten year enrolled in public school.
Three weeks after school had already begun, the Salzarulo’s had a change of heart. “We know as Christians, we are called to be the salt and light in the world,” said Pamela. “However, Tim and I are mature in our faith to live that calling out. We are missionaries. My children don’t know Him yet. They need to be taught and trained and in a place where the gospel will be reinforced.”
The third week into school, Pamela anxiously called Santa Clarita Christian School and within two days their paperwork was filled out and Ella was enrolled and was able to start at SCCS. “The teachers and families welcomed us with open arms. We were very happy with our decision.”
Two years later Pamela’s second daughter, Olivia began Kindergarten at SCCS.
Pamela is also thankful for the friendships that have been formed with other SCCS moms and families. “When school started we all went to coffee together and got to know each other,” said Pamela. “We would have playdates at each other’s houses. The families at SCCS really help take care of each other.”
Prior to having children, Pamela worked at LAB as a junior and high school Math teacher. “Bringing my kids to SCCS I wondered at first how the teachers would manage their classroom; how much they would let things slide,” said Pamela. “SCCS teachers put a high priority on not only academics and what the students are learning, but what is going on in their hearts. The teachers are always watching out for what the kids are saying to each other, what they are saying about themselves and their relationship with Jesus. It’s comforting to know that our daughters are hearing the same things at school as they would hear from us at home.”
SCCS partners with families to produce students who are prepared to make a difference in the world for God. With a low student-to-teacher ratio, intimate class sizes, competitive sports for grades K-12, dual enrollment and Advanced Placement classes, SCCS students continue to matriculate into the nation’s top universities.
SCCS is now enrolling for the 2016-17 school year. It’s not too late! To schedule your campus tour today or for more information about SCCS, call 661-252-7371 or visit www.sccs.cc or www.facebook.com/SantaClaritaChristianSchool.
