A MESSAGE FROM MR. AIKEN
Why Eden?
Dear Eden families,
Last week, each family received an electronic re-enrollment packet for the 2018-2019 school year at Eden Christian Academy. As you review the information and prayerfully consider your school choice, I’d like to present three school attributes that speak to the question,
“Why Eden?”
First, and foremost,
Eden is a Christian school.
We bring Christ and the truth of the Scriptures into all that we do. No, we aren’t a perfect school. However, we authentically seek to grow closer to Christ and we have that same desire for each student. Biblical integration in every class, as well as daily Bible classes, weekly chapels, community service, and mission outreach provide students with relevant opportunities to directly apply the truths they learn and live out their faith in Christ.
Second,
Eden is dedicated to excellence in academics.
A founding principle at Eden is the commitment to provide an outstanding education to every
student. Each discipline is continually developed to enrich the depth of course offerings and to include Advanced Placement and College in High School course electives. Technology is utilized as a resource to improve student learning. Eden’s faculty is committed to professionalism in the classroom and to God’s best for each child. We work to prepare students for college and the workplace by teaching life skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and perseverance.
Third,
Eden promotes student engagement.
From clubs and organizations, to the arts and athletics – students are encouraged to participate and enrich their educational experience. We have seen, especially in middle and high school, that students who are actively involved have a greatly enhanced school experience and gain the most in return. And, along the journey, they develop relationships and make memories. As an example, students in the Class of 2017 were connected in the National Honor Society, student council, musicals, robotics, mock trial, and athletics. And, reports from their first semester of college are extremely favorable from spiritual, academic preparedness, and social acclimation perspectives.
This embodies our aspiration for all our students- a Christ-centered, full, and engaged school experience that translates into early success at the next level.
On behalf of all the staff at Eden, we are extremely blessed and thankful for the opportunity to educate, train-up, mentor, and minister to your children. We recognize the significant financial commitment you have made and are grateful for the value you place on their education. Thank you for entrusting us with your children.
Sincerely in Christ,
Todd Aiken
