Evangel Classical Christian School Reviews

Our child is only in Grammar School but ECCS has already surpassed every expectation we had! This school provides an EXCELLENT biblically-based education, wonderful caring teachers and a nurturing environment. On the first day of school our daughter was unsure about her new environment, her teacher scooped her into the biggest hug and began praying over her. Words can't express how much we love this school!

The great thing about ECCS is its true value of education. Getting nothing out of it save for a chance at a generation of godly individuals to raise our country up, the faculty and staff give their all towards a classical education that is both enriching and usable. Their successful attempts at communicating God and His love through subjects such as Pre-Cal, Civilizations, and Biology have created nearly seven classes of strong thinkers, strong doers, and strong believers. The culminating project of a well-spent education, the Senior Thesis, gives soon-to-be-alumni an opportunity to take a stance on an issue and complete a multi-level defense of a solution to that issue before both an audience of community members and, in January, a panel of adjudicators. This tool is essential to the overall student's supreme goal in a 12-year private, classical, Christian education: knowing God, loving Him, and defending His words with true, beauty, and goodness.
I was one of the parents that wrote a positive review here before. Unfortunately, after my review my child got a very unprofessional and uncaring teacher. She had no training or professionalism to handle the age group she was teaching. I was so disappointed to be paying for that kind of service. Classrooms are awfully small and kids are literally pilled up on top of each other. Library and playground are also very poor equipped. Teachers are always leaving, so in 3 years we were there, my child had 2 new teachers!!
Also, the classical education is NOT for everybody. I would actually say that is only for a very few. If your child doesn't fit the mold of the book worm, absolute straight A student, please don't send them to a school that will only make them feel like a total failure. It was not a positive experience for my child.
