Teaching Approach

Updated 8mo ago

Immanuel Christian School frames teaching as “Exploring the Truth with our Head, Heart and Hands,” integrating biblical truth and a biblical worldview across all subject areas. Their approach emphasizes spiritual formation alongside rigorous, college-preparatory academics, with goals progressing from core knowledge and basic skills to critical thinking and problem-solving, and then to strong written and verbal communication. Classroom learning is described as engaging and supportive, using hands-on instruction, collaborative learning, and relevant curriculum tailored to students’ needs.

Admissions

Updated 8mo ago

Immanuel Christian School recommends starting by scheduling a tour or attending an Admissions Preview Event, then completing their online application and paying the application fee; a “complete” file also includes a signed Statement of Belief and Parent Agreement, required school records/testing (as applicable), and required reference forms, plus a birth certificate/birth verification record. The application is available starting September 1 each year for the following school year, and the website lists a priority deadline in early-to-mid January (the Common Questions page cites January 10, while the Apply Now page and tuition-assistance materials cite January 12), after which they state admissions continues on a rolling/space-available basis. Students may be asked to complete assessments/testing (developmental observation for K–2 may be needed; standardized achievement testing may be needed for grades 3–HS), and all families complete a parent interview; students applying to grades 5–12 also interview. Decisions for the upcoming school year are reviewed beginning in January, with kindergarten admissions beginning in late January/early February and grades 1–12 typically notified in late February/early March after re-enrollment is complete and the number of openings is known; families offered a spot must accept by the letter deadline and submit a non-refundable enrollment deposit. If a grade is full, students may be placed in a wait pool that can extend into the school year, and if a space opens the admissions team selects the wait-pool applicant they determine best fits the opening; the site also notes selection for openings is based on application date and fit with the school’s educational/spiritual objectives and class needs, and it does not publicly list additional preference/priority categories beyond current-student re-enrollment determining available openings.
