Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of a preschool-12th academy?

At Silverdale, there are incredible benefits to offering a Preschool–12th grade experience all on one campus. Our students grow in a consistent, biblical environment where relationships, values, and academic expectations remain steady throughout their educational journey. This continuity allows us to truly know and support each child from their first steps in preschool to graduation day. It also creates a strong sense of community for families, who can walk through every stage of education together with a shared vision and purpose. Learn more about our campus traditions.

How will you prepare my student for college?

With a developmentally appropriate and vertically aligned preschool-12th grade program, students are prepared for life after high school through our portrait of a graduate that grows with the student year after year. Students are supported through rigorous academics, a focus on writing through the writing center, college and career counseling, and Honors/AP/dual enrollment offerings.

We hear from parents and alum time and time again how well prepared they are for life post graduation - academically, spiritually, and relationally.

Is Silverdale a Christian school?

Yes, teacher to student discipleship, biblical integration, and character development are foundational to Silverdale. All faculty and staff are carefully selected as experts in their field with a strong statement of faith.

While families are asked to provide a pastor referral, church attendance and a statement of faith are not a requirement for admission to Silverdale.
