I love this school. It is classically Christian with a great Bible program, but Christianity is not 'forced' on anyone. Discipline is good, and the teachers are warm and fun (at least in lower school!) Academics are wonderful. The math in lower school is challenging, but very well integrated between grades. Reading, spelling and grammar are great too. Science and social studies are great fun and my kid knows so much already. One thing that I really like that was unexpected, is the athletic program. Football games are a whole lot of fun for the little ones, who cheer, play in the playground, eat hot dogs and just generally get to enjoy the school spirit that most of us didn't get until high school. The cheerleaders and football players are sweet and gracious to the little ones. Great place.
I have a daughter who is graduating this year and has been at Second Baptist School since she was in Pre-K. It is an exceptional school with exceptional teachers. For the 70 students graduating from the class of 2009, 12 got into UT and 12 into A & M. So much for the 10% rule. The colleges love the students coming out of Second Baptist because it is a College Preparatory school and the kids are well prepared for the academics in college.
We had a hard decision to make for our daughter. We are zoned to Spring Branch Memorial Drive Elementary School (which is a great school i am told) and in the wonderful Spring Branch ISD. We ended up making the decision to send our daughter to Second Baptist. Can't count the number of times my husband and i said how glad we were that we chose SBS. I know it's only Pre-K so far but we believe they totally have it mastered. She amazes us daily on what she knows about the Bible. She is reading. The teachers are very loving and firm too. Discipline and respect are hand and hand. We are continuing on at Second. Love it!
Incredible School, highly recommended! High quality education, challenging curriculum, loving teachers, and effective preparation for college. I credit this school's academic preparation for helping me earn academic scholarships. Honestly, my honors degree classes at tx A&M were comparable to the AP classes in high school at second, and because of the AP program, I Started my Freshman year with 41 hours of credit. Parents are extremely involved, and overall, the school provides a very loving Christian environment for its students.
