CURRICULUM EVALUATION AND ENHANCEMENT IS A CONTINUAL PROCESS ENERGIZED BY THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF IN ORDER TO MAKE LEARNING AT EASTERN CHRISTIAN EXCEPTIONAL. THE TRADITION AT THE HEART OF EASTERN CHRISTIAN IS A REFORMED PERSPECTIVE WHICH PLACES GOD AT THE CENTER OF EVERY ASPECT OF EDUCATION WHILE PROVIDING INSIGHT INTO THE MAJESTY OF THE CREATOR. FOUNDED IN 1892, EASTERN CHRISTIAN IS A SCHOOL WHERE THIS RICH TRADITION IS EVIDENT IN EVERYTHING FROM AN ELEMENTARY SCIENCE LESSON INTRODUCING THE WONDER OF SEED GERMINATION, TO A SENIOR POLITICAL SCIENCE CLASS DISCUSSION ON APARTHEID; FROM A LITERARY CRITIQUE OF THE CRUCIBLE TO SOUNDING OUT THE TITLE IN A "BIG BOOK" IN A KINDERGARTEN ALPHABET LESSON; FROM PENNIES COLLECTED FOR "WORLD HUNGER" TO A NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY MEETING WHICH IS FOCUSED ON SERVICE PROJECTS. THE CURRICULUM UTILIZES A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO EDUCATION INTEGRATING THE INTELLECTUAL, EMOTIONAL, AND PHYSICAL GROWTH OF EACH STUDENT WITH THE SPIRITUAL.
