Grades 1-6

for the 2024-25 School Year

Curricular Program

The ECS elementary program is designed to provide students a solid academic foundation with a Biblical worldview. To obtain academic excellence while fostering a Biblical worldview in our students, ECS uses the A Beka curriculum for all academic classes in grades 1-3 and for mathematics in all grades. We implement BJUP Bible curriculum for all grades and for most academic subjects in grades 4 and above.

ECS targets a 1 to 15 teacher-student ratio permitting us not only to instruct students academically but also to mentor them beyond the academic realm.

Extracurricular Activities

To develop well-rounded young people, ECS supplements its Bible and academic instruction with numerous extracurricular activities:

Chapel Program: the ECS administration oversees a weekly chapel program to promote our students’ spiritual well-being. Our “Hymn of the Month” program enhances our students’ knowledge of hymnology and underscores the Bible doctrines we teach daily in our classrooms.

Field Trips: our teachers plan regular field trips to complement the instructional content of their classrooms.

Fine Arts: we provide opportunities for our students to develop their interests and abilities in speech, music, and art.

Community Service: ECS encourages students in K5 through grade 6 to look for ways use their abilities to minister to our community. Our classes prepare arts/crafts and regular fine arts presentations to share with residents of assisted living centers in our area.

Competition: ECS encourages eligible students (grades 4 and above) to participate in the Old Dominion Association of Church Schools’ Bible, Fine Arts, & Academic competition each spring.

Physical Education: we focus on personal physical fitness and the development of skills required in team sports in our PE classes.
