Our mission is to provide instruction in God’s Word and conventional instruction that meets or exceeds State standards for all who desire a biblical foundation; and to serve students who has been historically are defined as being at-risk and those who are underserved in traditional systems of education.
An at-risk student is one who is in danger of not graduating from high school and is characterized by one or more of the following five conditions: poverty, lack of education of the parent(s), single-parent homes, race/ethnicity and environment (inner-city).
We cost $6,400 per child to provide an education here at Emmanuel. If we could pay our teachers more comparable salaries, the cost would be closer to $10,000 per child while offering the same services.
All new enrollees must pay a non-refundable registration fee of $115, which is due upon submitting an application. Reenrolling students have been assessed an enrollment fee of $115. Every student must pay an additional activity fee of $100. Finally, the Technology Fee is $250.00 per family.
Tuition, donations, and our annual benefit comprised 78 percent of our total income for the 2019-2020 fiscal year. Tuition funding includes the Jon Peterson Scholarship Program and the Ohio Education Choice Program from the Ohio Department of Education. This year we also received seven percent of our funding solely from private donations.
