Student Life

Life at ESCS is vibrant and full of joy. Our students have countless opportunities to discover their God-given talents. From engaging clubs to age-appropriate chapel services, we are committed to growing together as a community both inside and outside the classroom.

Chapel

While ESCS does host some all-school chapels throughout the school year, most chapel services are divided into Kindergarten through 3rd grade and then 4th grade through 8th grade. This enables speakers to connect with students via age appropriate messages. Speakers may be from the local community or within the ESCS family, and all are excited to share themes from the Gospel with the students. Each class is also responsible for presenting a gospel message once during the school year.

Clubs

Students in grades 5th and above have many clubs to choose from! Clubs meet twice a month, with each student choosing 2 clubs to join. Each year the club offerings may vary.

Example clubs:

Art

Build critical problem-solving skills, boost self-confidence, and give children a healthy emotional outlet

Chess

Promote critical thinking, enhance memory, improve spatial reasoning, and foster emotional resilience

Cooking

Practice critical life skills, foster independence, and promote healthy eating

Community Service

Drama

Social Media
