Both my son and daughter attend E.C.S. The Elementary and Highschool are well-run, and serve the students well. Administration is strong and financially the school is in a good place since 2012. The teaching staff has almost no turn-over year to year. The board has made major improvements to the physical/cosmetic structures and the grounds on-campus in the last 3 years. There is no perfect school, but ECS is money well spent. Every dollar to the school is used to improve things for the students. Elfers has been blessed for many years now.

I graduated from ECS in 2014, and I have to say that my experience overall was positive. The staff is really good, although their backgrounds vary quite a bit. You can have one teacher who is more centrist and religiously more liberal (think Pentecostal/Charismatic) and then a straightforward Baptist Fundy, all the way to a Right-wing conservative Reformed 5-pointer. I started in 7th, and I would say the MS and HS weakness is elective choices and science. Strengths are good sports, History, Bible and English. There are some great teachers that prepared me for University.

As a family we have been very blessed by the education our children have received at ECS. One of our children began attending ECS in her 2nd grade year and is about to enter 9th grade. Two of our children started in 6th grade; one is about to be a junior and the other a senior. Each of our kids love ECS and have never considered attending school elsewhere. The teachers are all quality educators and the staff maintains a great set of standards in regards to what is expected of the students. As a family we highly recommend ECS to families who are looking for an option other than public school for their children.

I have three of my children enrolled in Elfers. It is amazing to me how heartfelt these teachers are. This isn't just a job ! They have a passion! They have great communication with me. Which is extremely important when it comes to their academics. My children aren't just another student in that school. I appreciate the over and beyond teaching measures. I highly recommend this school ! And it's even better that is is K to 12.

In a time when it is scary to send a child to school, I have confidence that my children are educated and cared about to the highest standard. The teachers enjoy their jobs and truly want to see my children excel. Then, the help they get with scholarships for their future is truly a blessing.

My kids have both attended Elfers Christian School and I cannot thank the faculty and staff enough for the academic and spiritual training they provided my children. The time and dedication that each of the ECS employees put in is immeasurable. This is because they are not just staff members, they are mentors as well.A little background, my son started at ECS in third grade and graduated in 2015 as Class Valedictorian. My daughter, who will graduate in May is her class' Salutatorian. We are very proud of our kids, and I know if we had sent them to a public school, they would never have reached their full potential.There are great sports, clubs, and other activities afforded to middle and high school students. So, if you're looking for the right school to place your child, look no further than Elfers Christian. Not only is it very affordable, it's also a place of positive spiritual and academic growth. Thank you!

My two daughters attend Elfers Christian. My 11 year old has been enrolled since she was in daycare at 18months and has been through Elementary.Now on to the 6th grade (middle school) The caring & loving facility and teachers is one of the many reason I chose to keep my children at Elfers year after year! They keep in good contact with the parents & I never have to worry about their safety. Elfers takes learning & safety seriously and that`s worth every cent spent . Elfers is not just a wouderful school, it feels like family!!

ECS is an excellent school! I have 2 girls at ECS, one will be a senior and has attended ECS from preschool and the other is an elementary student. Both have excelled academically, socially and spiritually through the help and support of the teachers and staff at ECS! Putting your child in a private Christian School is a sacrifice financially for families, but we feel it is worth every penny! It is for sure an investment into our girls lives today and for what they will bring to their communities in the future!
