Academics
Evangelical Christian School is a college preparatory school. The curriculum is accelerated at least one year beyond grade level. Formal academic studies begin at two years old. Students are reading by midyear of four-year-old kindergarten. General, Honors, and Advanced Placement courses are offered in high school. Qualified students may participate in dual enrollment and credits in escrow at Edison College, during evenings, weekends, and summer.
Preschool at Evangelical is filled with excitement in a warm and comfortable environment. Surrounded by love, each little one, 12 months through three years, is free to explore and stretch his imagination to the limits. In our preschool program we provide a stimulating and enriching experience for each child in preparation for kindergarten. In Bible study, basic Biblical stories are shared, with concepts appropriate for young children. Creativity and imagination are encouraged through modeling, block building, painting, drawing, story acting, and craft projects. The sounds of music are enjoyed through singing, rhythm activities, and listening.
ECS Lower School students are constantly challenged to go beyond the status quo. The quest for excellence pervades the all-inclusive, college preparatory curriculum. Using traditional methods in a modern day setting, each student is encouraged to do his best. Homework, report cards, concerned teachers, and informed parents are the rule and not the exception.
Within the ECS Upper School, the innovative, action-oriented curriculum makes academic superiority an eminent possibility. College prep classes are designed to prepare students to meet the rigorous demands of higher education. A diverse sports program provides physical development, healthy competition and important lessons in cooperative teamwork. Cultivating the heart, as well as the mind, is a top priority at ECS.
