There’s nothing like lifting our voices together again! Today, we gathered as one student body—old friends and new—to learn what it means to stand strong in God’s armor. 2025-2026, we’re ready to be conquerors for Christ!

We’re excited to introduce Dan and Sarah Schlegel as this year’s Athletic Co-Directors!
Dan has always had a passion for sports. Growing up, he played soccer, basketball, hockey, and lacrosse. Sarah also enjoys an active lifestyle. From dance and Zumba to daily workouts, she finds joy in staying active while also pouring her energy into raising their three children as a stay-at-home mom.
Together, Dan and Sarah look forward to serving the students of South Olive Christian School. Their hope is that every student will participate, grow, and have fun through the different team sports and activities offered through our conference.

Welcome to South Olive Christian School
We live in a challenging and uncertain 21st Century. South Olive Christian School partners with families to raise up the next
