School Notes

ECS, a ministry extension of Engleside Baptist Church, exists to develop students into the image of Jesus Christ.
ECS provides its students a solid academic foundation from a Biblical worldview to prepare them for continued education on the secondary and post-secondary level.
ECS seeks to instill such Biblical values as godliness, humility, diligence, respect, and compassion.

School Motto: “Partnering with Parents of children aged 3 through grade 6 to provide a distinct Christian Education”

As a general rule, ECS works with Christian parents who desire their children to be conformed to the image of Christ, while also seeking high academic standards and a structured, disciplined environment. At least one parent or legal guardian must be saved and in agreement with our statement of faith.

Our family had a wonderful experience at Engleside Christian School. We had two children attend, and we truly loved our time there. The school provided a strong academic foundation and set our kids up for long-term success, both academically and personally.The teachers were outstanding-caring, dedicated, and genuinely invested in each child. The staff as a whole was kind, approachable, and made the school feel more like a family than just a place to drop your kids off. There was a real sense of community.We also appreciated the little things that mattered to our kids, like the hot lunch program and the fun, well-organized school trips that made learning exciting and memorable.Engleside offered a nurturing environment with high educational standards, and we are very grateful for the role it played in our children's early education. We would highly recommend it to any family looking for a supportive, values-based school in the Alexandria area.

We had four children who attended ECS for a wonderful four years. We had nothing but amazing experiences with every staff member, teacher, family and student. Our boys received great educations - even affording them excellence to gain acceptance into competitive private schools in our new area. They remained above state grade standards. But of the greatest value is the love of Christ that is both extended to and instilled within these students.

I went to this amazing Christian school from 3rd to 6th grade. I was born in a Christian household, so I already have the foundations of Christianity in my young life. This school reinforced the principles and love for Christ. I am currently twenty years old, and I am completely grateful for being able to experience Engleside. I still remember all of my teachers and how compassionate they were towards each student. They helped each student evolve academically and spiritually. The school may be small, but the quality of education you receive is incomparable. I'm thankful for everyone that helped me become the person I am today. I hope in the future, my future kids will be able to attend Engleside Christian School.
