South Olive Christian School

Christ-Centered – Affordable – Parent Partnered

💙 Why this fund matters:
50% of SOCS families receive Grant & Aid support through our Affordable For All Fund. Because of you, a child can experience Christ-centered education and belong in a place that loves them well.

This fund also helps keep tuition the lowest in West Michigan — opening doors for families who otherwise couldn’t afford it.

We had some very special guests in chapel today — humble donkeys from the Critter Barn! 🐴✨

Students learned how donkeys carried Jesus into Jerusalem, fulfilling the prophecy: “Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey.” Zechariah 9:9 (ESV)

We also discovered the unique cross marking on their backs — a beautiful reminder of our Savior. ❤️✝️

Thank you, Critter Barn, for bringing Scripture to life!

Meet Conor.
A little boy who needed a place to belong… and found it here.
Through patience, love, and Christ-centered community, Conor has grown into a confident, joyful, thriving student — and his family has found hope again.
Every child deserves a place where they are known, loved, and supported.
Every child deserves a place to belong.

Testimonials

“My child struggled every day to come to school before South Olive. His teachers had to pull him off of me sobbing and it absolutely broke my heart. He constantly would beg and plead for me to let him stay home as he just wasn’t happy in his class. Day one of going to South Olive was a night and day difference. My child felt so welcomed  and loved that by day two I couldn’t park fast enough before he was jumping out of the car, running to play with his friends. I am SO thankful we switched to South Olive Christian School!“

-Kindergarten Parent

“My daughter was struggling in her class before coming to South Olive. She was getting lost in the hustle and bustle of a large class and it was beginning to show in her work. When she came to South Olive the teacher was able to work one on one with her and catch up to where she needed to be!”

-4th Grade Parent

“My daughter was getting bullied at her last school. It broke my heart to hear her come home complaining about getting picked on. We met with her teachers and principle and nothing was changing. We recently came over to South Olive and couldn’t believe the difference. Bullying is not an issue here because of the small classes and all the students care about each other. If there is a problem- it is dealt with immediately. Moving to South Olive Christian was the greatest choice we could have done for our daughter. Her confidence is back and she LOVES school now! “

-6th Grade Parent

“My daughter is a social butterfly with a large imagination. She gravitates towards art-like things and is by nature extremely curious. We have noticed as her parents that with the small classroom sizes she is able to exceed in her academics. She is getting extra attention that pushes her and challenges her as school comes easy to her. Every student in her class she calls her friend. Which as a parent makes my heart sing. Every birthday party, we invite the whole class, their siblings & parents as well as the teacher because we love the community her classroom has.”
