South Haven Christian School has a philosophy based upon the Word of God. The primary objective and purpose of SHCS is to train the student in the way of life as presented in the Scriptures while providing a quality, well-rounded education. Luke 2:52 states: "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." This verse states that Jesus increased mentally (wisdom), physically (stature), spiritually (favor with God), and socially (favor with man). Character training is an important element at SHCS. The heart of character is obedience (deciding to do right), which will eventually cultivate an inner self-discipline and is essential to the emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well being of the student. To obey, to do right, to love God, to love our Country, and to always measure one's attitude against the principles laid out in the Scriptures are characteristics that we strive to instill in each student, thus equipping them for their role in God's plan for their life and for their place in society.

With a focus on academic and spiritual excellence, SHCS also provides many athletic and fine arts opportunities, which completes a well-rounded approach to education. SHCS Patriot athletics provide students with the opportunity to participate in football, basketball, and soccer for the young men, and volleyball, basketball, and cheerleading for the young ladies. The SHCS Patriots possess several state championship banners in boys' and girls' basketball, football, and girls' volleyball. South Haven Christian School has a reputation of excellence with choirs, ensembles, hand chimes, and art consistently placing at the top in state fine arts competitions.
