“Emmanuel christian academy (emmanuel) is a private, non-denominational, christian, school located in akron, ohio. Founded in 1993, "emmanuel's 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. To serve children who historically have been defined as at-risk of not completing high school and those who are underserved in traditional educational systems." emmanuel continues define an at-risk student as one who historically 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-parented homes, race, and ethnicity. Emmanuel provides a strong academic program and is accredited by the state of ohio as an elementary school and now has expanded its programs to and offers educational services to infants through eighth grade. Emmanuel serve families of children living primarily in the west akron communities in zip codes- 44320, 44301, 44311, 44307, 44313 and 44302 - where the concentration of african-americans is the highest in summit county. And since a disproportionate number of african americans live at or below poverty level, consequently the highest level of poverty is also concentrated in the west akron area. Emmanuel christian academy serves young people who are low income, minority, urban, and come from single parented homes. We have accepted the challenge of educating children defined as "at risk" students and refuse to make excuses for our children. We are committed to providing these opportunities for our students to set them on the path of success. We provide all students with a challenging curriculum that prepares them for success, with our "urban" students consistently performing at or above their grade level on national standardized testing. We have a systematic approach, research-based curriculum, enrichment opportunities and a solid emphasis on core subjects that are essential to academic adjustment. Our board of trustees and staff are a dedicated diverse group of men and women who support the vision, mission, purpose and ministry of our school. Moreover, our staff builds on students' strengths, as opposed to focusing on presumed deficiencies. Emmanuel christian academy has contributed to an average of 94% of our graduating students completing high school and passing all parts of the state of ohio mandated testing requirements the first time. Our tuition assistance program and the school voucher (ohio ed choice) has increased our retention permitting many students to receive an education and opportunities that they would not have been able to afford without the support of others. A good education is the only way for socially and academically at-risk children to be able to achieve their full potential, provide adequately for their families, and contribute to their communities. The curriculum and activities and programs of emmanuel have all been designed to promote the success of our students while providing a real opportunity to further the development of children society may otherwise have written off. The following is a brief synopsis of the programs at emmanuel christian academy: academic program that are noted for excellence.
