About Us
The HISTORY of ESC
ESC was chartered in 1995 to teach children in grades 4 through 8. It was started by two women and one vision. The school was located in Scottsdale, Arizona. In 1996, grades 1 through 3 were added at the request of our parents and finally, in 1997, kindergarten was added, and the school offered a full K-8 elementary program. The Phoenix campus opened in 1998 and moved to its current location in 2006. Due to declining enrollment in the area, the Scottsdale campus had to be in 2006.
Our CURRICULUM
We are dedicated to teaching a small community of learners in a safe and friendly atmosphere. We honor the spirit of children realizing that this is a precious small window in a person’s life where the joy of learning, discovering, gathering, and clustering new ideas, concepts and knowledge are as natural and wondrous as stars in the night sky. This will truly be a one of a kind experience for your child.
Our teachers develop age-appropriate activities in multi-age classrooms that introduce and strengthen academic and social skills. We pride ourselves on the fact that all classes have no more than 20 students per every teacher.
We strive to include enrichment activities that extend our students knowledge and understanding of the world outside the classroom. Each year, our older students take a field trip to a working farm, a post office, a fire station, and other local places of interest.
We are also committed to parent education. For interested parents, we offer a number of seminars throughout the year to help you better understand and support your children’s development.
