About the School
- At East Martin Christian School, we know that you want to be confident that your child is not only getting a solid education, but is being prepared to stand for Christ in a lost world.
- You need a school that cares about your child's heart while equipping him or her with a strong, Christian education.
- Unfortunately, it's difficult to find a school that both teaches your child academically and cares for his or her heart as a child of God.
- This often leaves you feeling frustrated, dissatisfied, and unhappy.
- We believe that your child deserves to be loved and cared for by teachers who will do whatever it takes to see him or her succeed not only in academics, but in a Christ-centered identity.

School Notes
- Building futures on Christ at EMCS, our goal is to teach students to build their lives on the foundation of their faith in Jesus Christ. The focus of each subject, each lesson plan, and everything we do on a daily basis is to build on this foundation.
- Growing in the grace and knowledge of Christ. We equip children with more than just academic knowledge. We prepare our students to be firm in their faith in high school, college, and beyond.
- Giving each student the careful attention they need. With nearly a 10 to 1 student to teacher ratio, we focus on giving each student the attentive guidance they need to grow, learn, and thrive. We want to grow your child's strengths and strengthen his or her weaknesses.
- Providing a place where children can belong. Your child will be known not just by name, but by heart. Students spend their school days in a caring community where they are known and loved by staff and students alike. Send your child to school each day knowing that he or she will be taught with compassion and kindness.

East Martin Christian Daycare has been wonderful for our two kids. We drive out of our way just to take them to this wonderful daycare/preschool, even when I have another option around the corner from my work. Not only do we like the Christ-based focus, but I know that my kids are treated with love and kindness. The staff is great and communication is top-notch.
