Appreciative. Grateful. Privileged. These are words that come to mind when we consider the blessing Emmanuel Christian School has been to our family. We appreciate the strong academic foundation our children have received, enabling them to go forth from high school well prepared for further study. We are grateful for the consistent Christian witness of the teachers at Emmanuel as they have partnered with us in our children's spiritual development. We feel privileged to be a part of a loving community of fellow believers as we sit with other parents at musical and sporting events. ECS has been pivotal in shaping our children's character and equipping them for everything God has planned for their future.

Due to the death of my husband in the early years of my children's lives, Emmanuel served as a spiritual surrogate for my children and a refreshing support for me. Though a tremendous financial challenge as a single parent, it was a wise investment. I've continued with this blessing by enrolling my granddaughter at ECS.

After our children's first Christian school closed, the search for a new school began with one important aspect in mind: a Christ-centered education. Immediately following a meeting with the elementary principal, we felt as if we were home . We prayed that our children would have the privilege to be part of Emmanuel Christian School. The warmth that radiated from the staff was welcoming and a feeling of Christ-centered love surrounded us. In addition, the school's physical accessibility has allowed our entire family to fully participate in growth, not only through the educational process, but most importantly in our faith in Christ.

Choosing to send our children to ECS has never been a decision we have had to question. In these uncertain times, it is comforting to know that our children are surrounded by others who live for Christ. We both grew up attending Christian schools and looking back, we can see the difference it has made in our own lives. We are so grateful that we have the privilege to send our children to a Christian school.

Our family has loved ECS for ten years!! Our children feel at home there. It is a place where they are instructed in love and wisdom by a staff and faculty who seek Jesus in their own lives. Our boys have received a quality Christian education where they feel safe in the environment around them. They have also made many lifelong friends. They are surrounded by people of character who encourage them to think, live, and respond to life and others with the sensitivity and the mind of Christ!

Emmanuel Christian School has been an asset to the total education of our children. Spiritually, our children learned that Christ is the center of all that is taught. Academically and through their involvement in sports, music, and other leadership opportunities, they were well prepared for college and life in general. Socially, they were positively influenced by both supportive teachers and friends. We are thankful for the education our children received at ECS.

Our high school sophomore and 5th grade boys have attended ECS since preschool. ECS has given us as parents peace of mind. We know that the values we teach at home are being reinforced at school. The Christian love shown to our children by the staff is helping to shape them into godly young men. The academics are challenging with the latest technologies available. All this will have our children prepared for the secondary education of their choosing.
