Echo Ridge Christian School
Echo Ridge Christian School has been in Nevada County for over 80 years. In 1962 we opened the doors at our current location, and have been educating students in grades K-8 ever since. Our teachers are enthusiastic and passionate about serving God and inspiring children to reach their full potential.
Teachers at ERCS are well qualified professionals who provide research-based instruction and assessment.
Teachers are commited to "Educating The Whole Child" by working together with parents to find the best, individualized solutions for the education of each student.
Class sizes are kept purposefully small, so as to best serve the needs of each child and to encourage a family-like environment.
