The teachers really care about each student and are also the type of role model I like my child seeing. Great standards.
I’m a parent who had both my daughters attend Evangel Christian School from Kindergarten to High School. They’ve both graduated from Evangel High – my youngest in 2009. It was a sacrifice for us but it was well worth it! The teachers and administrative staff were caring and my daughters had some great relationships with teachers over the years. I could go to work in peace knowing that they were in a caring, supportive, safe environment where they knew them by face and name. It was important to me that the girls go to a school that cared about academic excellence as well as the spiritual component of their lives. My girls developed their artisitc gifts at Evangel also. Moreover, I wanted a school that reinforced my Christian values at home and at church and I got it. Seriously, this is faith based learning at it’s best!
My son attends Evangel Christian School, he is in the 5th Grade and the first week of school on the ride home he said:
“Mom, my Teacher is a “PRAYER WOMAN”, no really mom , I’m not just saying that to be nice, she told us that we were each an answer to her prayers and that she prayed for each of us to come to this school and that she prays over our desks. You know what mom… I believe her, you should see her, she really prays for us and wasn’t just saying she does.”
As I was driving, I became emotional and got a few tears in my eyes and right there, we thanked the Lord for Christian Teachers who invest not only intellectually and emotionally , but spiritually.
I will never doubt or regret the INVESTMENT I am making in my child by having him in a Christian School.

“My whole heart follows hard after you and clings closely to you!”
We were thrilled bout our first spiritual emphasis week for the 2010-2011 school year. It was held September 20-24.
The theme for Elementary School was “Spirit of the Seas.” Each day during bible time, students focused on a bible story which all centered in on obedience. The stories covered during this week were: Jesus Calming the Storm, Noah and the Ark, Jonah, The Disciples Casting Their Nets & Peter Walking on the Water. Each day students were able to have worship time, a bible lesson, memory verse and complete a craft. The week concluded with an interactive bible story, including a large boat and someone “walking on water,” during chapel. It was a great week and students received a certificate and snack for their completion of our Spiritual Emphasis Week.
Pastor Tom Mahairas (founder of Manhattan Bible Church) came in to speak to our Middle and High Schoolers. He graciously shared his testimony with them and spoke about how God rescued him from a life of drug addiction. Pastor Mahairas also shared that there are 3 types of Believers….. The Believer, The Non-Believer, and the Make-Believer…….he challenged them as to which one they were. At the end he asked all those that would like to rededicate their lives to Christ to come forward. On Friday he shared with them that they are special and that God loves them very much. Seven students came forward to receive Jesus as their personal Saviour. He also asked student to pray for one another.
We praise God for His presence and for moving amongst our students. We are excited to see what He has in store for us this school year!

Ancient Greece
We dove right into Ancient Greece, embracing the stories of the Greek gods and even writing their own. The goal was for students to understand the influence of ancient Greece on modern Western Civilization. They read some of Plato’s Republic first-hand, discussed the causes and effects of the Persian Wars, and even participated in their own Olympics with each homeroom making up their own city-state. By making history personal, hopefully students will see history as more than a vast collection of facts.

The Fertile Crescent
We started out the year studying the beginning of civilization in the Fertile Crescent. To understand the difficulty of creating a city out of nothing, the ninth-graders created bricks out of dirt, sand, flour, and water. Some of the bricks could actually be used in Ancient Mesopotamia but the history experience turned into a science experiment when many of the bricks grew mold and stank to high heaven. Students said that they learned that ancient peoples must have learned to work well in teams and have experimented a lot to get the perfect combination of ingredients.

Chicken Soup for the Kid’s Soul
Fifth grade has begun borrowing books from the library. The students are amazed and thrilled about the remodeling of the library. We have been reading from the book, Chicken Soup for the Kid’s Soul. The stories in this book are encouraging and our students are enjoying them. We read a short story from this book about Ben Carson a Neurosurgeon who came from a single parent home and struggled at school but had a mother who pushed him to do more than his best. I encouraged our students to be like him to push themselves and aim for more than their best this academic year. They really enjoyed this story.

Brand Spanking New
Kindergarten has enjoyed our brand new, remodeled library. They love our new seating arrangements, the carpet. They enjoyed listening to the story, Tom Goes to Kindergarten. We spoke about their experiences from the first day of kindergarten and how it was similar and different from Tom’s first day of kindergarten. They really had fun listening to this story.

“What has kept me working at Evangel for the last 26 years……. is that I know that God has a calling upon my life to minister at this school. This is where I have also grown not only in my profession but also spiritually as well as emotionally. God has proven his faithfulness over and over again through out these past 24 years. Both of my children attended Evangel and also attended private high school. They both graduated from college without having to take out a single loan. My son, completed his BA in 2001 and my daughter completed her Associates degree from a local Junior college in 2003. Another aspect that I appreciate about working at Evangel is that not only has Evangel been a safe haven for our children, but it’s also a safe place for the staff as well. It’s wonderful working in a place where everyone cares for one another. Especially the administrators who are also sensitive to your personal needs. Our last staff development work day 4/20, exhibit this. We were partnered to assist each other to retouch the bulletin boards and classrooms. Even though it was a long day,(8-5 PM), we all worked tirelessly to get the task done without complaining. I’m unsure if this is possible elsewhere.”

I have been a teacher at Evangel Christian School since 1995. The reason I first interviewed at Evangel is still the reason I continue to work here today. When I first came to interview here I discovered a school very much like the Christian HS I grew up in. At Evangel I have experienced a family environment where experienced staff help new teachers learn to teach, and where parents and teachers can meet together to work out a learning plan for their child/student. Evangel helped me to fulfill my dream of becoming just like my favorite HS teacher. I, too, was a basketball coach and math/science teacher. My fellow teachers & the administration have helped me to grow in my profession as well as my walk with God. It has truly been a blessing to watch students who I taught in 4th grade, grow up and mature and go on to college.
How Evangel Christian School Has Impacted by Daughter’s Life
My daughter, Rasheedah Broomfield, has struggled so much during her time from Kindergarten to Fifth Grade in Elementary School. As a parent and partner with God, many prayers have been lifted up for my daughter’s academic studies.
Many teachers have told me that she couldn’t do the work and she would have a hard time focusing in life and in church. But to God be the glory, Rasheedah has passed all of her E.L.A exams and moved up to the next grade.
This year she was accepted in the Middle School at Evangel. We wept with so much joy and peace knowing that she will be in the good hands of excellent God-fearing teachers.
The impact that Evangel Christian School has in my daughter’s life is that she is more sociable. She studies hard, and remembers more Bible verses that I do. Evangel Christian School makes my daughter feel good everyday. When I pick her up, she comes running to me with a big smile on her face and tells me that she had a good day at school
Rasheedah’s relationship with her teachers and peers makes me feel good and helps me understand God’s love more clearly.
Sincerely,
Yvette Broomfield.
As a parent of Evangel Christian School students I want to say that ECS has been a blessing for our family. Our children range from elementary, middle to high school. Evangel has given a great amount of support to our children both academically and spiritually. The staff has lived out the biblical principles of loving your neighbor as yourself. They genuinely care about the students and their progress. As parents, it was important for our children not only to attend a school that believes in Christian values but upholds them. Thank you Evangel!!!
I cannot express how much of a blessing that this school has been to my children. The teachers are caring and are always willing to spend the time to help the children. Where do you see teachers taking no lunch or even staying after school to take the time to make sure that the student understands and is able to continue in their subject? When you arrive to evangel Christian school you are greeted with such love. The office staff is there and willing to help you in any area possible. My children are in Middle School and High School and cannot see themselves at any other school but Evangel.. The Forensics class has been a blessing where they have been able to attend different classes at John Jay College. I believe Evangel is a blessing to so many and continues to bless our children.
As a parent of a student at Evangel Christian School I want to say that I could not have chosen a better school for my children the curriculum is meeting their academic needs, they are also able to participate in sports where they are playing against other private schools. The administration is so involved with parents and is always willing to help you. You see that they care. My children have made great friends throughout the years here. It’s even hard for me to get them home early. They have afterschool H.W. Club where they are able to stay and work and also get the help needed from teachers. If you are in need of a good school Evangel Christian School is the school…Visit the school for yourself and you will see that this school has a lot to offer. Let’s pray that God will continue to bless Evangel and their staff.
I can’t say thank you enough for helping to build the foundation on which my life is built upon. I credit ECS and Evangel Church for developing my knowledge, morals and character and am so grateful for being who I am today. My current profession allows me to examine the lives of other combat veterans and help them to move past their wartime experiences. It is only now I can realize how protected we, as students of ECS, were from the horrors of what other children may have been exposed to. It is truly a blessing to be a student at ECS and I would like to thank you for all of your sacrifices and dedication to insure we (the students) were/are given very opportunity to succeed.

Evangel Christian School has been great for our son. We believe ECS aims for high educational and Christian standards. The teachers and staff genuinely care about the students and their progress.
As parents, it was important for our son to attend a school that believes in Christian values. We found this in Evangel Christian School. We have seen our son grow in his knowledge and understanding of the bible.
ECS has not only blessed our son, but we have been blessed as well. As a family, we have accepted Christ as our Savior and currently attend Evangel Church.

We are blessed to have been able to place our daughter at ECS. I recommend it. It’s a great investment in our daughter’s life.
As a former teacher at ECS, I can attest to the high quality of Evangel. The administration demands excellence and breeds it in their faculty who then expect it from the students. The family feeling comes from the Spirit of God reigning in the halls of Evangel Christian School. ECS will always be my home and I will always remember the training and support I got there. Now my nephews attend the High School and I am confident in knowing that they are getting the best education money can buy in NYC.
Evangel is a great learning environment. safety and discipline are highly regarded and children are held to a high standard. The curriculum is rigorous and students are challenged. My son has been there three years now and he loves is. His varsity basketball team involvement has helped him excel academically as well as motivate him. The school fair – done once yearly is superb. All students take their skills, knowledge, creativity, and enthusiasm to put on a school-wide fair that will blow your mind. The Christmas specials are awesome and also exhibit the students’ gifts and talents. I love the school!
This school is a great school! My grandson comes here and the prices are wonderful. Also you don’t find too many christian schools around the area. Evangel Christian School is the best! ~so are the Evangel Eagles~
Amazing People! Great Energy and Overall good Academics!
I attended Evangel Christian High School, I thought it was a great experience. It taught me many things, and the teachers never gave up on me, they would stay late to teach who ever needed the help. The Principal was always there for the students and she knew you by name not by number. Not only is your child learning things that he/she will then use in his adulthood, but they will learn Christian values. I would recommend it 100%.
Evangel Christian School has been a blessing to my family. My daughter has been attending Evangel since PreK3 and this year she will graduate from high school she has learned so much academically as well as spiritually. My son has been attending Evangel since PreK3 and is now in middle school. If you’re looking for an affordable school with a loving staff and qualified teachers this is the school for you.
My son attended ECS from Kindergarten until the sixth grade. Our experience at Evangel was wonderful. The school helped to build a strong academic foundation for my son. I always felt that the teachers and staff cared for the students overall well being. It was due to us moving to another state that took us away from Evangel. I would recommend Evangel to any parent looking for a great school.
I’m a middle school graduate and I loved this school and thank God everyday that I went to such a close home environmental school. I learned so much from this school and so many memories that I can never forget !
I am a graduate of Evangel and I am so happy that God gave me the privilege of being able to attend Evangel. At Evangel I learned to use the gifts and talents that God has given to me for His glory. The teachers at Evangel love the Lord and are highly dedicated to the students. It provided a safe and Godly environment that not only helped me academeically but spritually also. I feel that Evangel helped to prepare me for life. What a blessing you are Evangel. Keep up the great work.
Evangel school has been a blessing for my children they currently attend Evangel and the support that they receive is one you cannot find in the public school systems…..May the Lord continue to bless this school…A parent blessed
