School Notes:
The purpose of Eastside Christian School is to provide an encouraging and challenging educational atmosphere in which all moral and academic instruction is presented from a Christian worldview. We are educating children in the Christ-inspired, joyful pursuit of excellence. Our strategy for achieving the purpose set before us is to model and teach young people that the most appropriate response to God\\\\\\\'s blessing and Christ\\\\\\\'s incredible act of love is for us to seek to serve and glorify Him in every area of our lives. This can only be accomplished by giving our best and striving to reach our utmost potential. Equally important is the attitude that accompanies our effort. We seek to instill in our students the understanding that not only is pursuing excellence glorifying to God, it should be a truly enjoyable experience.
Parent Testimonials:
"Six years ago, my oldest son came home from Kindergarten one day very concerned. He looked me in the eye and asked "Dad, do we have enough money to go to this school for all of the years? I love this school". Three enrolled kids and all of this time later, the sentiment is still echoed by my kids all of the time. The small class sizes and phenomenal test scores don't hurt either!"
"After struggling for two years at the top-ranked public school in Bellevue with bullying and curriculum concerns, we made the decision last year to transfer our kids (now 1st and 3rd grade) to ECS. My kids are now thriving academically, spiritually, and socially. ECS isn’t just a school…it’s a loving, supportive community of teachers, staff, parents, and students. Two kids in private school isn’t cheap but the education and environment @ ECS is worth every penny. ECS gets my highest recommendation!!"
"Yes, I work at ECS, but I'm also a proud parent of two alumni, now thriving spiritually, academically, and socially in public high school and college. Given any amount of money and the pick of any school, ECS is my hands down, enthusiastic, no-bones-about it #1 choice. ECS is a priceless investment in not only children, but also in God's kingdom!"
"My boys are both ECS grads and the solid foundation of commitment to Christ and His church, as well as, to learning about His world have made them into the incredible people they are today."
