The Way They Should GO fund
Funding is the most significant barrier for families seeking the profound benefits of a Christian Education. The challenge has always been bridging the gap between what families can afford and the true cost of this transformative experience. Some ask, “What about EdChoice, does it close the gap?” No, even with the blessings that come with expanded EdChoice funding, it is short of the true cost of educating a student. Yet the need for a biblically integrated education has never been more important! Culture continues to wage war for the hearts of our children.
The Way They Should Go Fund (Proverbs 22:6) is our way of bridging the financial gap between cost and affordability. Generous donations remove the financial barriers for an education at Emmanuel Christian Academy.
The Way They Should Go Fund exists to financially support families who desire a strong biblically integrated education and Christian culture for their children. The fund provides financial awards based on many variables including, but not limited to, grade level, multi-student enrollment, multi-year attendance, and employment. It has become the centerpiece of Emmanuel’s financial and business structure and is crucial to providing a biblically integrated education to each and every student.
Every dollar donated matters in helping our Emmanuel Family. Thank you for your support!
