Let me start with bad teachers that dont have patience for kids. My kid when up for a ? and she said I don't have time. They never have time for there kids. a lot of the rich kids pretend that there christians and they talk really bad about other kids. if some kids are fat or they have a flat butt ect... A really bad school to take your kids too. Choose wisely thank you.

I am a current high schooler and went to ESM kindergarten to 8th grade. The classroom sizes are small from around 18-25 kids in a classroom and this has a lot of disadvantages. If you don’t fit in with a group of kids or find a friend group you’ll basically be alone. There were several people in my grade that barely had any friends, or people didn’t like at all. being in a small class and grade if people don’t like you it’ll be hard to make friends. The homework was incredibly hard and i got a lot of it. i just gave up on homework because grades don’t even matter there. i had multiple F’s and i still passed easily. They give you no motivation to do homework, instead they will punish you. (no recess or sitting alone at lunch) and if you don’t read books and take tests at them you don’t get recess. You mainly only had one teacher that taught you everything. (except recess, art, choir, pe, etc.) this was just boring and you basically sat in the same room all day. there was no action in the school at all. i have friends now who went to public middle schools and i feel like my middle school years were wasted and i could’ve had much better ones. Middle school at ESM is basically the same thing as elementary. nothing changes, just more homework. I wish i realized how bad of a school ESM was earlier. i got bullied halfway through my 8th grade year and i emailed the teacher and principal. we had meetings about it and what did they do? nothing. do not send your child to this school.

One of the most welcoming communities my family and I have ever been a part of. As a mixed family, this is unfortunately hard to come by. ESM welcomed us in with open arms just two years ago. We are excited to see how they continue to help our children learn and grow going into this 3rd year!

I love teaching at Emmanuel St. Michael. The staff is one of the friendliest staffs I have every worked with. They love the kids and work hard to create a well rounded child for the world they are entering into someday. We have great technology available to our students which makes our classroom multi-dimensional in our resources for studying. Students enjoy working on iPads and MACBOOKS to create projects, research, and participate in class. ESM strives to encourage students who are rooted in Christ and prepare them to share God's love in our world. The family at ESM is a supportive environment which kids strive and are encouraged to work to their full potential on a daily basis.
