Immanuel Christian School

You`re looking for a true learning community - a place where your children can grow and develop into the individuals God designed them to be. This is why excellent academics are so important. You desire the very best opportunities for your students, and you want to know they are being mentored by Christian role models on a daily basis. Finding a school where biblical principles are integrated throughout the whole curriculum is of utmost importance to mirror your family`s teachings at home.

At Immanuel Christian School, our teachers embody the mission of inspiring students for purposeful lives of learning, godliness, and service. From kindergarten through eighth grade, children are prepared with a combination of solid academics and Scriptural truth, developing the knowledge and character required to make an impact in today`s world.

OUR ACADEMIC PROGRAM
A Comprehensive Curriculum
Our curriculum emphasizes the core subject areas of math, science, language arts, and social studies. God`s truth is woven into every lesson and activity, helping students develop a biblical worldview. Elective courses, academic clubs, and activities allow each child to explore their unique gifts and talents while developing meaningful relationships with peers.

Instructional Innovation
Our experienced, caring teachers utilize a spectrum of proven learning resources combined with exciting, new technology tools. We recognize that no two children learn in the same way or at the same pace. With small class sizes, we can better understand each student`s learning style and help maximize their potential.

Real-World Education
Students who graduate from ICS are critical thinkers and problem solvers. We instill these valuable skills through hands-on activities. When students are given opportunities to connect their classwork with the real world, they are energized to problem solve and motivated to make a positive impact with their education.

Christian Focus
Apart from biblical truth, the very best education cannot prepare one to succeed by God`s standards. At ICS, students learn how to embody Christian character and to think with the mind of Christ. Our community encourages the values of love, respect, camaraderie, and community service - all in the name of the Lord. Every subject has a faith component, emphasizing Christian principles across all areas of study.

OUR ACADEMIC LEADERS INSPIRE AND ENCOURAGE
One of the most influential people in their child`s life is a teacher. The teacher has the ability to inspire, encourage, and challenge a child while expanding their hearts and minds. At Immanuel, we know that the partnership between school and home is critical in developing tomorrow`s leaders. That`s why we hire and retain exceptional teaching professionals who are called to the noble profession of education. Our faculty are lead by a team of three talented and dedicated principals who oversee the elementary grades (K-4th), middle school grades (5th 8th), and high school grades.

Our experienced team of academic leaders inspire creativity and passion in every educator at Immanuel. They lead by example, exploring new teaching methods and the latest educational tools that will unleash a student`s potential. Professional development opportunities, mentoring and collaboration help to provide an encouraging work environment for your child`s teacher. We know that an inspired and encouraged educator can change lives because it happens everyday at Immanuel.

SPIRITUAL LIFE
At Immanuel, it is our desire that every student will become a follower of Christ. We are intentional in providing opportunities for our students to deepen their faith, ask questions and put their faith into action. We consider it a privilege to partner with parents in the spiritual formation of our students.

We offer developmentally appropriate opportunities for students to grow in their spiritual journey. All students memorize scripture; Elementary students have chapel bi-monthly and our Middle School students have chapel weekly and these include worship, prayer, testimonies, small group discussion and guest speakers. High School students start every day as an entire school studying the Bible, discussing the culture and what the Bible has to say, and wrestling with hard questions. High school students worship together weekly during chapel.

STUDENT LIFE
One of the great privileges of Christian education is to provide students with opportunities to reach their highest, God-given potential. At Immanuel, our students flourish in an atmosphere of encouragement to take intellectual risks and discover the furthest limit of their gifts and abilities. The scope of grade-level and school-wide activities opens a world of possibilities through extensions to the class curriculum and clubs, athletic competition, fine arts and community service. The ICS family is committed to the spiritual formation of children, so we partner with parents to promote an educational environment that honors scripture memorization and the application of God`s Word in a personal, relevant way. At ICHS, advisory groups provide the opportunity to develop healthy relationships with peers and mentors.
