The Mission of El Sobrante Christian School is “To provide a place where students are challenged to achieve academic excellence in a Biblically-based learning environment.” We are committed to reinforcing Christ centered values in all that we do, thus enabling our students to impact their families and the community through service for Christ.

In order to accomplish everything we need to do educationally, spiritually, socially and physically for our students it is imperative that we have Parental support and help for our families. The Parent Participation/Service Program plays a major role in helping us achieve our goals and build community within the school family each year. Your participation and service to the school will have far reaching effects for your children and your family, as you give of your time and talents.

Parent Participation/Service Program
Each family will pay a $100 deposit before school begins. During the school year 15 Units of participation will be required of each family. If the required 15 Units per family have been completed, the Parent Participation/Service deposit of $100 can be applied to the next school year or for graduating students may be refunded by June 30th if all outstanding financial obligations are met. If the Units are not fulfilled the deposit is forfeited and a new deposit must be paid by September 1st if your student is re-enrolled for the following school year. A list of Participation/Service activities is available.

Guidelines for Parent Participation Units

• Each ESCS family, regardless of the number of children enrolled, is responsible for 15 participation units for each school year. One hour of participation is equal to one unit, except as otherwise noted. Parents will be responsible to “sign in” at each event or at the time of participation. The “recorder” or “event coordinator” will provide a sign in sheet and turn it in to the office for the master list.


• Parents/guardians or immediate family members may serve participation hours.


• Units/hours may not be served for friends or non immediate family members.


• Parents/guardians are encouraged to remain active in school activities after completing the required Parent Participation Units.


• The required units for each school year may be earned from July 1 through Friday of the last week of school. Units earned over and above the required amount cannot be rolled over to the next school year.
