East Palmyra Christian School is...

Christian

Each subject is taught from a distinctively Christian worldview, out of a love for God, and with awareness that Christ is King in every activity.

Covenantal

As a covenantal school, we are owned and operated by a society of Christian parents who subscribe to our basic beliefs, and not by any government, particular church, or other outside entity.

Classical

We value tradition, with a curriculum that reaches back to the Classics and forward toward virtues like faith, charity, and perseverance.

Enrollment

Parents who desire Christian education for their children, who are in agreement with our Statement of Faith, and who are members of a local church are encouraged to apply for enrollment, full-time or part-time. The family must intend collaborate in promoting Christian growth and behavior.
