Dear Parents,

It is with great pride and genuine humility that I serve as principal of Savannah Christian Academy.  Having attended a Christian school as a child, returning to a Christian educational environment is like coming home.  While I spent my first five years teaching in the public setting, God graciously moved me to SCA in 1999. After teaching for two years, I moved into the position of principal in 2001.

Having experienced teaching in both the public and the Christian setting, I have to say that great liberty abounds within the halls and classrooms of a Christian school.  While education is a primary goal at SCA, so too is spiritual and physical growth.  When the Giver of Wisdom is exalted and when He becomes the common denominator of all that is taught, amazing things happen; test scores go up, healthier lifestyles prevail, and souls are saved!  Teaching within a Christian school allows me to see the truth of God’s word lived out; when God is given His rightful place in our lives, everything else falls into place.

In the past thirteen years, many changes have occurred at SCA, but they have only been external.  Internally, everything at Savannah Christian Academy remains the same; our purpose is still to exalt God, our calling is still to teach children to seek His will, and our heart’s desire is still to approach everything through prayers and supplications.  The school that was birthed in prayer shall continue to grow as a school that is bathed in prayer.

As the future unfolds, I hold fast to the promises that God has given us in His word; that He will direct our path when we acknowledge Him (Prov. 3:6), that we will prosper when we delight in His word (Ps. 1:2-3), and that our toil will not be in vain when we abound in His work (I Cor. 16:58).  How wonderful it is to be a part of what God is doing here at Savannah Christian Academy!  May the fruits of this field be plentiful and may they in turn bring in a harvest of their own.

Your servant in Christ,

Kris Smith
Principal
