The staff truly cares for each child. The environment is great. My daughter loves her school for the first time and she is encouraged in her Christian faith every day!

We have had such a positive experience thus far. I love that my daughter comes home and tells me the latest Bible story they've learned. I feel ECA is very biblically sound, and I appreciate that. I feel that academically, ECA is a great school. Truly, we're very happy, and I never thought I would send my child to Christian school. We're very happy.

ECA provides top-notch education and sets high standards, all while meeting each kid where he/she is to help them reach their potential. The Bible class truly teaches them God's word, and they learn how to memorize scripture. Weekly chapel is a highlight. They are greeted every morning by smiling staff at the doors. The teachers get to know each child and their learning styles. ECA has amazing music and arts programs and offers athletics for all age groups. Parent communication is great. Highly recommend!

Best all around! The principle is 100% spot on the way he handles issues. Everyone is so professional from botton to the very top. My son compares to be about a whole grade level ahead of his public school friends. I love how they truly study the bible and not just read it. I am extremely pleased with ECA on every level.

We have never felt more at home than we do at ECA. The staff is friendly, the teachers are passionate, and the administration upholds excellent communication. The educational rigor, strong Christian values, and family community are unmatched.

Emmanuel is the only place you need to look in Springfield to find Christ-centered learning that academically challenges students and holds them to a higher expectation than any other public school in the area. Students are welcomed, prayed for, and embraced by staff. We highly recommend it!
