School Notes
Education at Eastern Christian is distinctively different. In
the classroom, academics are taught from a Christian perspective,
and teachers faithfully mentor students to become responsible
stewards. We provide a nurturing environment that encourages our
pupils to recognize their gifts and develop their potential for
service to God and their community. Students are challenged to
reflect and to ask themselves how academics, the arts, and
athletics are preparing them for a life of service. Our mission is
to provide an excellent academic education within the context of a
Christian world and life view, in a culturally diverse and caring
environment for the children of Christian families.
Families at Eastern Christian don`t have to choose between a
strong college-prep program and a Christian curriculum - we`re
proud to offer both, because they are important elements of an EC
education. Here, your teen will find a distinctly Christian
learning environment and coursework that stimulates and challenges
at an appropriate level, including advanced courses designed to
help high achieving students go even further.
Has your teen always enjoyed computer science or mathematics?
Are they interested in defining their passion for performing arts?
Just like a college major, our concentrations allow students to
identify their budding interests and talents, then develop skills
in a focus area. Your teen can choose from one of our seven
different Humanities and STEM Fields concentrations.
We believe that a strong, Christian education should be made
available to students who work hard and want to grow. That`s why we
offer The Education Support Services (TESS) to students
with a wide range of abilities. Through TESS, students sharpen
study skills, practice self advocacy, and grow in specific academic
subject areas.
One of the things we love most at Eastern Christian is watching
high schoolers discover their God-given gifts and sharpen new
skills. If your teen enjoys athletics, they will fit right in at
Eastern Christian - 60% of our students are involved in our
athletics program that spans 24 teams and 12 sports offerings.
Or, maybe they`d like to try fencing, fly fishing, or become the
next star in one of our musical productions? Our clubs and
activities are popular, too.

I attended Eastern Christian School from preschool through high school graduation. I loved my experience there and am very thankful for the way faculty members care about students growing in character and faith in addition to academics. I am very appreciative of the opportunities and resources provided to me while at EC.

Great academics. Biblical worldview integration in every area. EC is preparing my kids for the next level and shaping their character along the way. All this is done in a safe, loving space under the direction of amazing faculty. Exactly what my wife and I were looking for!

As a parent I am impressed by the PA and Humanities programs Eastern Christian High School offers. My daughter will graduate next year with 17 college credits. Excellent academic options in a Christ centered learning environment. Would highly recommend.
