EXTRACURRICULAR
SCS students travel from as far west as Nassau County and as far east as Hampton Bays to attend school here, so with the exception of athletics many of our extracurricular activities are built into the nine period school day. All secondary students are required to do community service each year outside of school, but below is a list of some of the opportunities and honors available to the students of SCS.
Undignified is the out-going Mission's Team of Smithtown Christian School. Their first trip was to Moss Point, Mississippi post-Katrina, and have since served in Nicaragua, Mexico, Haiti and Puerto Rico. Teams have built homes after Hurricane Mitch, repaired schools, ministered in hospitals, youth centers, schools, orphanages and other venues to live the Gospel.
Our JAARS team heads down to the JAARS facility in Waxhaw, NC each year as their mission is to serve the Kingdom of God. The JAARS team chooses projects to complete on campus and has opportunities to talk to missionaries who are back from their own mission fields.

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY…
-
" The service-learning program at SCS goes hand and hand with Christian education. Students learn about loving Jesus and helping those in need. Then, they practice what they learn by going out and being the "hands and feet" of Jesus to their communities. "
Dr. Anna Ramos, SCS parent
-
" Knowing that our children are going to school and learning about Christ and hearing biblical truth that is not altered has confirmed to us over and over that SCS is the best choice we could make for our kids' education. "
Doug & Kelly Jansson, SCS parents -
" If you aim for heaven, you might get earth thrown in, besides. Aim for heavenly values by sending your kids to Smithtown Christian School, even if it means sacrifice. "
Daniel Buttafuoco, SCS Grandparent -
"SCS has been an incredible blessing to our family. Knowing our children are in a Christ-centered environment where they are loved, nurtured and prayed for by their teachers and other members of their school family is so important to us. "
Rachel Cardwell, SCS Parent -
"It's impossible to enter this school without coming into the presence of God. It's the only thing that can change lives and because of the faithful teachers, staff and culture of SCS, it changed mine."
Pastor Jeffrey Eichenlaub, SCS Alum
