Sheboygan Christian School

What Sheboygan Christian School does

Sheboygan Christian School (SCS) is a state and nationally accredited, independent, nonprofit private Christian school serving students from 3K through 12th grade. Founded in 1898, it is one of the oldest Christian schools in the nation and operates from a single 929 Greenfield Avenue campus in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, recently expanded through a three-phase building project (Phase 3 completed in 2025). The school enrolls 600+ students from 350+ families across Sheboygan, Manitowoc, and Calumet counties, representing 60+ different churches across the region. Its academic offering integrates a biblical perspective across all subjects through the Teaching for Transformation framework, a Project Lead the Way STEM pathway, Discovery Term experiential learning, Youth Apprenticeship, and a Senior Capstone Project, supported by 1:1 Chromebooks, smartboards, an SCS mobile app, and the FACTS Family Portal.

The school's business model is tuition-driven, augmented by a diversified set of fundraising and ancillary revenue streams. Core revenue comes from tuition and fees, supplemented by the Wisconsin School Choice Program (a state-funded voucher channel), the Good As New Resale thrift consignment store in Cedar Grove, the long-running Apple Pie Sale fundraiser, community grants (e.g., Project Lead the Way $9,100, Kohl's Field Trip grants, Kohler Foundation, Thrivent), and the student-run Blessed Bean coffee shop (donating 10% of proceeds to local charities). Ancillary income also includes extended care ($6.50/student/hour), drama performances, and spiritwear sales. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via a direct enrollment portal, campus visits, and open houses, with marketing executed through Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, a blog/news section, and print collateral such as the parent information packet.

The school is governed by a Board of Trustees (recently expanded with Josh Neeb and Rachel Swift) and led by Head of School Ann Steenwyk. It maintains strategic partnerships with Christian Schools International, Oostburg Christian School, the Barnabas Foundation, and Jos. Schmitt Construction, and has earned consecutive Parent Choice and Employee Choice Awards (NPS 70+ thresholds) across 2023-24, 2024-25, and 2025-26, signaling strong community and employee satisfaction. The school does not have a parent company, is not publicly traded, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
