About us, Savannah Christian Preparatory School

Our school originally opened its doors in September 1951 with an enrollment of eight high school students. Ann Tyson, the only senior, graduated in June of 1952 from what was then called the "Evangelical Bible Institute (EBI)."

We officially became "Savannah Christian School" in 1954, and then "Savannah Christian Preparatory School" (SCPS) in 1978.

Savannah Christian Preparatory School (SCPS) is an independent, non-denominational PK-12 college prep Christian school. We seek to glorify God by partnering with families, churches and the local community in educating future generations through Christ-centered training, application and example.

Walking by arches Founded as the Evangelical Bible Institute with eight boarding students in 1951 by the Rev. George and Mrs. Harold Deane Akins, SCPS has contributed to the education of more than 5,000 students at some point during their educational journey, including more than 3,300 alumni, over 1600 students on campus every day, 1300 current families, and 190 staff and faculty.
