Founded in 1979, Santiam Christian Schools is operated as a non-denominational, non-profit corporation, and is not affiliated with a church or ministry organization.

Santiam Christian is a unique educational environment. Each and every day we strive to balance overall academic rigor with individual accomplishment, Christian world-view with cultural influence, our sense of community and family with the needs of each one. While we are not a perfect place, we believe God has called us to this responsibility and we do our best to answer that call with excellence and yet humility.

Santiam Christian High School is fully accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and Cognia, and meets all requirements for graduation of the Oregon State Department of Education.
