At Eastside Christian School, our students benefit from our smaller class sizes, and experience:

• Increased Teacher-Student Interaction:  Smaller classes allow for more one-on-one interactions between teachers and students, promoting personalized learning and addressing individual needs.
• Improved Classroom Management:  Our teachers can maintain better classroom discipline and create a more focused learning environment with fewer students.
• Enhanced Student Engagement:  Our smaller class sizes can lead to more active participation and engagement among our students.
• Better Academic Performance:  Research suggests that students in smaller classes often perform better academically and score higher on standardized tests.
• A Greater Sense of Community:  Our smaller classes foster a sense of community and collaboration among our students.
• Increased Student Support:  Our teachers can provide more support, guidance, and feedback to our students in smaller classes, helping them excel.
• Reduced Teacher Workload:  Our teachers can manage their workload more effectively in smaller classes, allowing for more time for lesson planning and individualized instruction.

While you are not able to request a particular teacher for your child, your input is welcome regarding the teacher personality and instructional style that would best help your child grow academically, socially, and spiritually. In late spring, a Student Placement Request will be made available to parents via our school’s FACTS Family Portal and the ECS office. Parents may use this form to communicate their child’s learning style, personality preferences, and friend requests.  ECS staff will meet to discuss each child’s needs and will work hard to place students with the teachers and classmates who best fit the student’s personality and learning style.

ECS typically starts in September on the day after Labor Day, but occasionally begins the last week of August.  Check our calendar for specific information.
