All subjects are taught through the perspective of God’s Word so that students will grow in favor with God and man. A student’s family life is important in nurturing character and the mind. We promote the involvement of parents working together with the school, respecting the contribution and authority of each other. Since God is “no respecter of person,” EO does not discriminate on the basis of color, national origin, race, or sex.

It is vital that children focus on the foundation of scripture throughout their education.  The Bible is God’s living word, and He reveals Himself throughout every aspect of our lives.  We teach all academic subjects through a Christian worldview with the purpose to come alongside parents in developing student confidence in all aspects of life: spiritual, mental, social, and individual.  God designed us all and gave each a unique purpose.  We cultivate an environment and the opportunities for students to shine as individuals so they can utilize their God given gifts and skills for His glory.

At EO, “the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart, a good conscience and sincere faith” (1 Timothy 1:5). We meet the needs of each student with hope and love. We operate in an environment of grace and encouragement. Central to who we are, we provide a Christian atmosphere for students to grow and relate to others in a healthy manner.  We pray His love will be evident in all we do. EO offers each student an exceptional educational experience.

Homeschooling: We do have an element of homeschooling at EO. Because we are a hybrid model our students continue their learning at home. We want our students to know their identity as a *insert your last name* family member and their identity in Christ. We are a community honoring relationships between parents, children/students and teachers.

Classical: We do utilize some classical methods in that we do include some memorization, logic and critical thinking in our education.

Charlotte Mason: Our PreK & Kindergarten classes utilize this model heavily. As students get older it is subtly utilized. For instance our science curriculum is written from this style.

The above are just some examples of how we have tried to cultivate our own unique blend of teaching styles to best fit our mission, vision and values, as well as meet our students’ unique learning styles and needs.

EO, as well as its board and faculty, are committed to being Christ-centered and following His love-oriented approach to life.

• As an interdenominational organization, we avoid the denominational distinctives because our focus is on guiding children to live like they are loved by a heavenly Father and feel confident in their identity with Him.
• We believe that the Bible is inspired, inerrant and is our reliable source in faith and life. It is God-breathed and given by his divine inspiration.
• We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. Very God of very God, begotten, not made, of one essence with the Father; through him all things were made. Who, for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man; he was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father [and the Son], who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one, holy and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and We look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
