Enroll in HOME Program

Recognizing that some families feel an individualized learning program at home is in the best interest of their children, Emmanuel Christian School is equipped to encourage and assist them through our home school umbrella. The HOME Program is for families who are members in faithful attendance of Emmanuel Baptist Temple, or other fundamental, Bible-Believing churches.

Our goal is to assist families but not to be intrusive. Parents will maintain daily lesson plans and weekly grades. Although students may move at an individually tailored pace, all courses must be passed before grade promotion or diplomas are issued.

The yearly fee to enroll in the HOME Program is $300.00 for the first student and $200.00 for each additional student.
