  Our journey at ECS began in 1973! As an alumni, I consider the 13 years at ECS as giving me a firm foundation in so many areas of my life- Spiritually, Academically, and Socially. When I entered college, I was confident to stand firm when faced with pressures, I was academically prepared to excel in my courses, and my deepest friendships today are still the ones I had at ECS. I am so thankful that my children are now attending ECS and enjoying the same teaching, training, and equipping that I experienced. My children came to ECS in the 6th grade and the transition was so smooth. Their classmates quickly embraced them and made them feel like family. God's hand has been on ECS since the beginning, and I am so thankful for the commitment of the administration and staff to stay true to God's Word and direction for ECS.

  Do yourself a favor and come experience the difference at ECS. The administrative staff and teachers at the school deeply care about children receiving a complete Christian education. Some teachers take the time to send out postcards to students thanking them for participating in doing well. This is just one example of the level of care at this school. another example of the quality and the academics - at a recent spelling bee, Of the 15 finalists nine of them came from ECS. Not to mention the seniors' high ACT scores. COME AND SEE !

  My children have been at ECS since kindergarten. The school provides a Christ centered education with unparalleled academics, athletics, and arts. I love that the faculty provides our children a Christian worldview. I am convinced the investment being made today will pay huge dividends throughout my children's lives. They spend more waking hours at school than anywhere else during the week. I so appreciate all the coaches, teachers and other faculty are pouring in to our children.
• One Visit is All it Takes!Parent 02/17/2015
  
  Families tell us over and over, a visit to the campus to see and experience for themselves the ECS difference in our students and faculty convinces them that this is the place for their children! Come by for a visit and see for yourself.

  My daughters each attended ECS from K through 12 and are now in college, and my son is in 8th grade. I am so pleased that in every subject my kids are taught God's truth and that they are challenged with an excellent academic program. The teachers and coaches prepare the kids, as an image bearer, to serve God wherever he leads them.

  Private education is expensive so it was important that we chose a school that genuinely offered a full program - rigorous academic options and standards but also excellent co-curricular and athletic opportunities. Throw in staff, teachers and coaches who focus each day on growing a student's heart as well as their mind and you truly have the total package. ECS has been a tremendous blessing and experience for all our kids. I can't imagine another school that can deliver more for your education dollar.

  Having been associated with ECS for over 25 years, I can say without hesitation that it is a place that prepares students academically, spiritually, and socially for whatever they encounter in life.

  ECS is a wonderul place to work with students, teachers and parents who understand God's love and His creative, redemptive and restorative acts. ECS endeavors to set its educational priorities on the Cornerstone -- Jesus Christ -- recognizing His sacrifical love, grace and sufficiency in all things. Students are taught to work hard and think hard, and develop a worldview that aligns with Scripture and holds firm despite myriad and various circumstances. ECS is a great place to work and a compelling place to learn!

  Both of our children graduated after attending ECS K-12. The outstanding academic foundation they received was evident in their ACT scores, college success, and now in their careers. However, their continued strong spiritual commitment and a lifetime of wonderful, solid Christian friends and mentors are even more valuable than the great academic and athletic experiences they enjoyed. We would gladly make this financial sacrifice again, as it was the best investment decision our family ever made.
• Excellence in college prep Christian Education for 50 yearsParent 02/06/2015

  After finishing Richland Elementary, we were looking at White Station Optional or a private school for middle school. After looking and touring several private schools, ECS was the best choice for our family. It has allowed our son to grow academically, spiritually, and socially. This is the school in Memphis for the Christian family looking for a Christ centered, biblically directed education. Also a great academic choice with the second highest ACT scores among the private schools in the Memphis area. From the school's discipleship model, to its leadership, teachers, coaches, families and alumni, this is a truly unique school in the Memphis area. High school class sizes here are around 100 to 115 per class, which we felt was the perfect size. We have loved our experience at ECS.

  We absolutely love ECS Macon. Our daughter has been here 6-9th, and we have a boy that has just entered at 6th. First of all, 6th grade is one of our favorite years here, as the teachers truly "team-teach" and ready the kids for there upper middle school and high school years. The school is definitely college prep in that expectations are high, but so much help is offered to students - the faculty truly desires success for as many as possible. By the time the kids are in high school, their theology and religion courses are so strong, that they leave school with seminary-level education. But ECS is certainly not all about head knowledge - a favorite element of this school for our family is the sense of community and service. Kids are encouraged to serve together - alongside parents, faculty and administration - and service and character are at the core. The sense of community that is built comes from the chance to have fun - whether its during the school day or during the many extra curricular and sports opportunities. I'm convinced that a big part of my daughter's educational and personal success is attributed to being part of this very special community - we are blessed!
