Schaumburg Christian School

What Schaumburg Christian School does

Schaumburg Christian School is a private, nonprofit Christian school serving approximately 850 students from preschool through 12th grade on a single campus in Schaumburg, Illinois. Founded in 1971 as a ministry of Bethel Baptist Church, the school is supported by a referral network of 140+ churches and draws a student population representing 37+ nations, including a formal international student program. It is dually accredited by Cognia and recognized by AACS, NACSAA, NCPSA, IHSA, and IESA, and was named a Top Christian School in 2025, ranking #5 Best Christian High School in Illinois.

The school operates a single-campus, full-spectrum K-12 academic model with college preparatory coursework, interscholastic athletics, and a growing layer of career-pathway programming. Recent academic additions include a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) pathway partnership with Harper College (2024-2026), a dual-credit program with Maranatha Baptist University, new career pathways in business, digital media, and healthcare, and a record 10 student clubs including an IJAS state-qualifying journalism program. The faculty and staff (estimated 57-84) include multiple long-tenured educators and a recently refreshed leadership team, with Dr. Eric Bovee as secondary principal and Tori Evers as elementary principal following the retirement of long-serving principal McVey.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition and fees from ~850 enrolled families, supplemented by registration, extended care, international student programs, and donor/fundraising contributions. The school disbursed approximately $120,000 in scholarships in the 2023-24 year, supported in part by a Thrivent partnership. Beyond tuition, the school is expanding structured engagement with current families via a new Parent Advisory Board launched in January 2026. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, or public-company financial disclosures are present, consistent with its nonprofit, church-affiliated structure.
