ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE WITH A BIBLICAL FOUNDATION

Emmanuel Christian School provides education that is unapologetically based on the Bible and instruction that is focused on a biblical worldview. We strive to show our families and students the love of Christ and the hope that is only found through repenting and believing in Jesus Christ. We strive to support our mission in a warm, loving, and non-coercive manner. We want our students to hear of their need for Jesus Christ and see His love demonstrated. We pray that they will give space for God to work in their hearts. We desire to see our families and students connected to and involved in Bible-believing churches where they can change and grow into the image of Christ. All students will participate in Bible classes and chapel services led by Christian teachers who look for every opportunity to integrate a biblical worldview into all academics, extra-curricular activities and interactions at Emmanuel Christian School.

The EC Mission. To assist the family by providing Godly, loving training that disciples them to exemplify Christ, make biblically based decisions and attain academic excellence.
