Immanuel Christian School Reviews

My best experience was my relationship with the teachers, they are good with students and they help you get closer to God. And I also loved to be in the tennis team, it was an awesome experience. The worst part was that at the beginning I hated that we had top speak English all the time but then I got use to it and I even got to like it.

My experience in Immanuel has been very nice. Since I came to this school I felt more appreciated, once you get in, everyone tries to make you feel like you are at home. It is a Christian School which involves you to encourage more in your religion, and makes you more sensitive in some way. I became closer to Christ and that was the best thing I could take from school. It is a small school, not many students which is great, because I feel teachers actually put their attention on students instead of just letting in go, teachers encourage their students to continue studying, reading, and involving in exterior activities. I really like that the school has community service as a requirement, and they recognize you for that. I had the chance to be part of the worship team, now I am the leader in the media area, also I am in the tennis team also in the school. Immanuel has been one of the greatest experiences I have ever had.

The teachers and faculty really do care about their students! They make sure we are learning and care about us growing in our faith and relationship with God. Everyone is so nice and my counselors and teachers try to really help us when it comes to colleges and scholarships. Even though we are a smaller school, they give us lots of extracurricular opportunities. I know it sometimes sounds cheesy when people say their school is like a family, but that's how I would describe mine.

Review Immanuel Christian School

Immanuel Christian School has been nothing short of amazing! After going through some ups and downs they have continuously helped me to grow into the man I want to be!

My children were mistreated and were refused educational services at this school, the culture is toxic, coaches pursue inappropriate relationships (4 coaches that I can confirm), administrators lie and sweep issues under the rug.

This school will be the worst decision you can make for your child, please take your child elsewhere, I implore you.

I was there at Immanuel Christian School for two years. I enjoy the time that I have been there. The classmates are relaxed and fun guys.

I will say Immanuel is much better than many public schools, and the teachers are very helpful and will work with you to help better your academic journey. Ive been there all my life and I would not change that. They haven't gotten many renovations through the years but have upgraded their security. They have also evolved sports wise, students have many opportunities to get scouted as well as not only play against private schools but also public schools as well. Our school has many social media accounts so that students can keep up with academic, sports, and club news.

Small school where you know everybody by name, with small classes size and very friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

ICS has undergone many changes over the years. After I graduated, the school has been taking a downhill slope. Almost all of the secondary teachers left ICS and the school was forced to hire new teachers. Sometimes, I feel, out of desperation, the school will just settle for whatever teachers they can hire and it can result in someone who does not actually teach the students or even care. Yet, the academics at the school are very good under the right circumstances. The school does have some rules that are a bit too much. For example, the dress code is too strict and no language other than English is meant to be spoken in the school (unless you are in the Rosetta Stone classroom). It can be a bit much. And, sometimes the budget towards the school is put towards things that are not entirely necessary (example: High Five Virtual Learning for COVID shutdown). The school has definitely made questionable choices with money. Overall, the school is okay and the students are nice.

My daughter is an example of what an ICS education can do. She started in the 3 year old class and became a proud graduate. Immanuel prepared her academically for UTEP. Many of her professors immediately recognized that she came from a private Christian school because she knew how to study, listen, write, take notes, and excel. She ended up graduating from UTEP magna cum laude with a Business Degree in Human Resources. She is currently working as a payroll processor and is working her way up. Immanuel also taught her to stay true to her Christian roots despite how the world thinks and reacts. She lives to please God. I am so thankful for Immanuel!

Immanuel Christian School will exceed all of your expectations! Immanuel Christian School is academically challenging and will prepare your child for when they enter college. We chose Immanuel Christian School because of its exceptional reputation in the community, diversity, rigorous academics, and because it is a Christian school and is anchored on Gods word. I truly believe that Immanuel is an investment that is worth making for your children.

My youngest child attended from the age of 4 on through 12th grade. The school and staff is like family. Each year we seek to grow better in all areas. The staff is a great team of excellent Christian role models who genuinely care and have a rigorous curriculum.

I love how small of a school it is. This gives the teachers more time to go one on one with us. And with such a small classroom, it allows me to interact with my classmates on a more personal level. The only thing that I would like to change would be the athletics program. Being small and private doesn’t allow much of the cash to flow into creating a strong athletics program. Besides that small like road-bump, Immanuel Christian school has given me a good education and good friends.

The fond memories that those halls hold are ones I will forever cherish, but the frustration some of us shared will never be denied. The warmth that school held was tender and kind, for the teachers cared immensely about their students and always ensured their well-being was top-priority. They showered us in the love they held dear for God; it was always so beautiful seeing how much they cherished their relationship with Him. And yet, that relationship was often forced onto the students, for those that did not fit the ideal image of a Christian were often judged heavily. The school became strict and distant, and favoritism between certain students and teachers became evident. Though the environment dimmed, God never did, and He showed Himself always at the moments we needed Him most to stitch our community back together. The people I met there, I would never trade them for the world because without them I would never be proud to say I am who I am today.

My 2 youngest children attended and graduated from Immanuel Christian School (ICS). Now I wish my 2 older ones had gone there. ICS has high academics, teachers are highly qualified, and dedicated. Teachers push students to step up to higher academic levels. Grades must be earned not given just to move students on. Admin and faculty work as a family to help students achieve higher goals. Most teachers have been teaching at ICS for many years because of the environment and opportunities to implement teaching methods to help student achievements. If you seek higher academics and a family environment, ICS is the best for your child.

It is good in some aspects and bad in some others. Most teachers are good at their job and also care about their students more than a teacher usually would. I think that this school is better than most, but there are still things that could be worked on. Such as listening to what the students have to say to improve the school.

What a FANTASTIC SCHOOL ! Both of my children have been attending ICS since elementary school. One child will graduate high school next year and the other the following year. The teachers and administrators are very dedicated to ICS and love the students. The quality of education is top notch--the kids will definitely be prepared to take the next step and go to college. The environment is SAFE and STRUCTURED. Children learn about rules, regulations and personal responsibility-- concepts that will help them be successful throughout life. I especially like the wholesome, patriotic, christian environment-- I don't have to worry about gangs, drugs and the other negatives associated with public schools these days. Come and check out ICS ! We love this place ! The premiere private school in El Paso, IMHO !!

Review Immanuel Christian School

We know how choosing a school to invest into your chid's life is one of the most difficult decisions. Five years ago, we choose Immanuel Christian School for our 2 children, at the time starting kinder and 4th grade. Since day one, we felt right at home. Great parent environment, pre-Covid we would all gather and chat before and after school. The teachers have all been great, some stricter than others but we actually wanted a more traditional setting with good discipline and Christian foundation. Curriculum is solid, starting with the younger ones using Abeka and older grades incorporating other great teaching programs as deemed fit. During this difficult year, the school invested in great technology to make it feel as close to being "in school" as possible.

Feels like home with family! I was looking for a private school with a low student/teacher ratio and found ICS. The majority of teachers at ICS have been here for a very very long time which says plenty about how happy they are with the administration, staff, and students themselves. Students are challenged at all times and are under constant guidance in a warm, caring and respectful Christian environment. Academically, I have seen my child grow and enjoy the learning experience. Teachers are always willing to work with your child on a one-to-one basis to help them thru any difficulties they are encountering. Love ICS!

My children have been attending ICS for 5 years now and we absolutely love the school. The student teacher ratio is small and the school overall is amazing. The school functions as a large family and we have always felt so welcome and loved. I know my children are loved and care for each and everyday. The Christian curriculum, as well as the ethics and morals my children are being taught is the foundation needed. We are so blessed to be apart of the ICS Family!
