“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." we continue to 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. 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 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. 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.
