School Reviews
5 4/20/2024
I am amazed at the difference I have seen in my child since starting at East Moline Christian School. In public education, my child was pushed through classes, not learning anything. My child has grown both academically and spiritually thanks to the rigorous academics, high expectations of teachers, and the loving Christian environment. Such a blessing from the Lord!
