Educating Our Children in the Spirit of
Excellence
Emmanuel Christian Academy (Emmanuel) is an independent,
non-denominational Christian school located in Akron, Ohio that
serves children who are defined as at-risk and those underserved in
traditional education systems. Emmanuel has had a
life-changing impact on the lives of many children and their
families since its founding 20 years ago. As a result our school
has grown significantly. The school is accredited by the State of
Ohio as an elementary school and offers pre-kindergarten through
eighth grade with a current enrollment of 220.
Two-thirds of Emmanuel’s enrollment is at or below federal poverty
guidelines, all are minority students and half come from
single-parent homes. In addition, the majority of our students live
in the West Akron community, which has the highest concentration of
African-Americans in Summit County. Notwithstanding the adversity,
Emmanuel’s curriculum and special programming has been noted for
excellence, providing its students with social and academic skills
to achieve their full potential and make positive contributions to
the community.
We understand that our students’ needs stretch far beyond the
classroom; therefore, our commitment to them and their success goes
beyond school hours.
Now entering the 2nd grade, my son has attended ECA since Kindergarten. Long story short, I LOVE ECA! Mrs. Duncan (Kindergarten teacher) and Mrs. McElroy (First Grade teacher) have mastered the art of challenging and stretching my son! They encourage him! They correct him...all in love! They are truly an extension of our family! No school or person is perfect, but at ECA every effort and action is done in love! That character is invaluable!....ECA has an open door policy. One day I dropped in to volunteer for a while and had the chance to sit in on a middle school class, with Mrs. Jackson, and left blessed. She teaches with such passion! Her students were not merely a captive audience, they participated! They were engaged. This experience gave me something to look forward to! My son is in the 2nd grade now...but I eagerly anticipate his every progression! There's so much Christ-centered wisdom, knowledge, affection and love in this building, there is no place I''d rather be!
