Southminster Day School, a private school, was established in 1967. It is a mission of Southminster Presbyterian Church. Our purpose is to give children of the community the finest background in their early formative years in a Christian atmosphere. We guide and direct the children’s growth in appreciation of spiritual values, social skills and attitudes, independence, emotional stability, self- expression, and good habits. We like to feel our children will increase “in wisdom and favor with God and man”.
Southminster has a traditional academic program. We have a phonics-based reading program and follow the State of Alabama course of study. Emphasis is placed on developing study skills, a sense of responsibility, and proper conduct.
Students receive instruction in Physical Education, Art, Music, Spanish, Computer and Religion. All students attend Chapel weekly for songs and a special message. Parents are invited and welcome to attend each week.
Our student body consists of approximately 230 students in grades 4K through 5th grade.
Southminster Day School provides early hours care for all students from 7:20 a.m. – 8:15 a.m. for $5.00 per day.
There are two sessions of after hours care available for $10.00 per session. The first session is provided to kindergarten children between 12:15 p.m. – 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. They should bring a lunch for the days in which they will participate in this program. There is an additional session for kindergarten through fifth grade children from 2:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Grades 3-5 will spend the first hour of after hours in study hall.
Early hour and after hour sessions are billed at the end of each month.
