A Bit About ECS

Elyria Christian School was founded in 1982 by a small group of families that had as their number one priority the spiritual and character development of their children. The school began with only 22 students in grades K-8. The school has grown from a staff of 3 to the current level of more than 20 teachers plus a support staff larger than the entire school’s first year enrollment.
