Teaching Excellence in Christian Education ( Pre-K - 6th grade )

ECS Handbook

Dear Parents,

On behalf of the Engleside Christian School faculty, I welcome you. We count it a privilege to work with you in discipling your child. Our goal is to develop Christlikeness in our students—your children. As we teach, we hope to model spiritual truth and challenge our students to grow intellectually, physically, spiritually and socially. We desire your prayers as we approach the coming school year.

In Psalm 1, God pronounces a blessing on those who walk not after the counsel of the ungodly, who stand not in the way of sinners, and who sit not in the seat of the scornful. When I read this passage, I immediately think of our current public educational system. I recognize that “academics” may flourish in some public settings, but I see too clearly the affects of leaving God out of the classroom, the dangers of open sin and immorality, and the rejection of clear Bible teaching. I believe that God does provide a special blessing for those who recognize this truth and pay the price for Christian education.

We have written this handbook to outline our philosophy and policies at ECS. This booklet contains many answers to questions you may have during the course of this school year. I encourage you to read it carefully. You may find the appendix to be very helpful in understanding why we do the things we do. We hope this information promotes an open line of communication that will make this coming year profitable and enjoyable for all of us.

In Christ,

Keith Paddock
