Testing is administered in the spring over a two day period, consisting of approximately four hours each day. Testing can be accomplished in a group setting or “at home.” Testing is available to the general public ($40 per student for SCS families, $45 per student for others). The Iowa Test of Basic Skills is administered 1st - 6th grade, while the Stanford Achievement Test is administered to 7th - 12th grades. If you would like to talk with someone about testing, how is works, how to prepare for testing, or other related questions, call us at 818-523-6791.
“At Home” Testing - Families may test their children “at home.” We send testing materials (pdf file) to you with instructions on how to properly administer the test to your children.

Annual Achievement Test
An annual achievement testing is one method for home schoolers to have a pulse on how their children are doing academically. While testing is limited in measuring every child's academic skills, it can be a helpful tool in the assessment process. Sunland Christian School (SCS) requires testing of students in the 3rd grade, 5th grade and those in the 7th grade and older. Mastery of 10th grade level skills, in language and math, is required to earn a high school diploma.
