Since its founding in 1976, Immanuel Christian School continues to combine academic excellence with a nurturing, Christ-centered environment.  Immanuel Christian School challenges and equips students to succeed by offering a stimulating curriculum, extracurricular activities and competitive athletic programs that prepares students for the challenges beyond ICS.

Elementary Program

The elementary years represent an explosion in cognitive growth, increased social awareness and empathy. Immanuel Christian School teachers design creative lessons to encourage students to develop reading and writing fluency and critical thinking skills while promoting greater independence in accomplishing academic tasks.

Creativity, self-expression and camaraderie are all supported through the hands-on curriculum extensions that enhance classroom instruction and meet the needs of diverse learning styles.  A biblical worldview is integrated throughout the curriculum and students participate in ongoing class service projects.
