ECS is an approved institution of academic learning by the State of Washington and is accredited through the Christian Schools International. Everett Christian is also a member of the groups WFIS and Northwest Christian School International. Everett Christian School has between 60 and 100 students (K-8) on average with a faculty to student ratio of 1 to 14.
The Everett Christian School parents, faculty, and staff believe the Bible teaches that God established a special relationship (covenant) with Christians. Because of that relationship, Christians participate in this special relationship with God in all aspects of their lives.
The stated purpose of the ECS is to confront students with the important realities of life, so they may learn how to evaluate them in relation to the principles taught in the Christian Bible.
