Home | About | School Objectives

Recognizing the God-given responsibility that parents have for the education and overall development of their children, Evangel Baptist Church established Evangel Christian School to support parents in this important task. The school aims to instill Biblical principles and Christlike character in students. By building on the foundation set at home, ECS strives to provide an education that promotes the spiritual, academic, social, and physical development of each student. The following specific objectives are incorporated into all aspects of Evangel Christian School:

Spiritually

To lead all students who have not already done so, to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

To develop in each student a love for the person and work of Jesus Christ coupled with a respect and fear of the Lord.

To develop a scriptural self-awareness and confidence which produces a mature and vital testimony for Jesus Christ.

To develop an appreciation of the Bible and an ability to make daily application to life.

Academically

To provide the Christian family with an alternative to secular humanistic education for their children with an instructional program based on the Christian perspective.

To meet or exceed the graduation requirement standards contained in the Virginia Educational Statutes.

To enable students to master the tools of learning and communication so that they will think clearly, logically, and independently.

Socially

To nurture and instruct students in such a way as to develop in them a world and life view consistent with Biblical principles.

To promote within each student the ethical and spiritual qualities which constitute Christian character.

To develop patriotism and respect for the godly values, common memories, and traditions, which have made our country what it is today.

Physically

To develop physical strength, motor skills, and teamwork through organized physical activities.

To provide students with opportunities to discover and develop talents in athletics.
