“The Child continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.”
~ Luke 2:40
Academic Philosophy
It’s never too early for your child to be shaped by a Christ-centered education. Our academic programs range from preschool through 12th grade; we nuture and challenge our students through high-level academics, extracurricular activities, fellowship opportunities, and service projects. Every effort is made to provide stimulating educational experiences at developmental appropriate levels for our students to become successful, well-rounded learners.
All subjects are biblically integrated to weave the Truth of God’s word into academic lessons. East Richland Christian has a living curriculum, which incorporates the knowledge of the teacher, the experience and background of the learner, and a wide variety of instructional tools; in all ways, students are instilled with a love for learning God’s truth in the classroom.
Accreditation
East Richland Christian Schools is chartered by the Ohio Department of Education and is also a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).
