Escondido Christian School offers a full range of educational services from preschool through eighth grade in modern, well-equipped facilities. Need-based scholarships are available. Escondido Christian is a ministry of Escondido Christian Center. School philosophy begins with the conviction that every child is uniquely imprinted with the image of God. In order to reach the potential God has for each child, we believe that children should have a well-rounded program that encourages them to develop socially, emotionally, cognitively, physically, and spiritually. Escondido Christian School works together with home and church to provide a Christ-centered spiritual, academic, and physical foundation in a Biblically-based environment, guiding young people into a daily walk with Jesus Christ to produce Kingdom-driven citizens.

School Reviews:

  • Recommended May 21,2012 - My son is now in his second year attending ECS. There are no words to describe the LOVE... attention, compassion, and support... my son and we as parents receive from all the school staff ongoing. Because of this CARING... eviroment my son is thriving....educationally. We as parents need to relaize this is the most critical factor in selecting a school. Somewhere where it''s not just said ....or in a mission statement but truly demonstrated..... "Every child is unique and supported in their own individual way". My son previously attended two very high cost "Christian" schools south and west of the Escondido area and all along ECS was tight here in Escondido where we live! My son, still often ask me, "Mommy, why did it take you so long to find ECS"? My answer is always the same, I''m sorry....but here you will stay.... until you graduate!! Annamarie*-Posted by Parent *

You can see and feel the Lords love flow thru them and into these children''s lives. Escondido Christian school has been a huge blessing to us.

  • Recommended March 16,2012 - My three children have all blossomed at ECS. I am so thankful for the caring staff, wonderful enrichment programs, and exciting sports. The reasonably-priced before-and after school daycare is a godsend!*-Posted by Parent *
