Overview
Escondido Christian School offers a full range of educational services in well-equipped facilities.
Need-based financial aid is available. Escondido Christian is a ministry of Escondido Christian Church. School philosophy begins with the conviction that every child is uniquely imprinted with the image of God.
In order to reach the potential God has for each child, we believe that children should have a well-rounded program that encourages them to develop socially, emotionally, cognitively, physically, and spiritually.
Escondido Christian School works together with home and church to provide a Christ-centered spiritual, academic, and physical foundation in a Biblically-based environment, guiding young people into a daily walk with Jesus Christ to produce Kingdom-driven citizens.
Grace Christian School provides a Christ-centered, nurturing community along with a rigorous academic program. Students are encouraged to become responsible leaders, life-long learners, and compassionate citizens who are developing a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ.
