Our Philosophy
Education With Purpose
We believe education is about more than what a child knows. It is about who they are becoming. We nurture the whole child and encourage each student to grow in faith, knowledge, and character. Our goal is to help every child discover their God-given gifts and use them to serve others.
“Blessed is the one whose delight is in the law of the Lord. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water… whatever they do prospers.”
Luke 12:34
Welcome to Eastside School!
I’m one of the pastors at Eastside and a parent of two Eastside students. A year ago, our family moved to Wisconsin from North Dakota where our boys attended public school. We were very happy with the quality of their education and they enjoyed it there, yet we never imagined how much more they would love school at Eastside.
The education is top notch, but what really sets Eastside apart is the family atmosphere. Within a month of being here, I watched my oldest son immediately make quick friends with several of his new classmates after struggling to make close friends for years in a much larger school. What made the difference?
Eastside is a faith-based institution where the students are constantly immersed in God’s teachings and his forgiveness for them in his Son Jesus. Eastside students are children who make mistakes just like any other kids, but here they are taught to channel Christ’s love in a way that makes a real difference for their lives.
By God’s grace our school possesses many virtues and maintains high standards, but Eastside’s philosophy is ultimately that nothing leads to a better education than one rooted in God’s Word. When our students see that they are loved and valued by their Creator, we are convinced there is no better preparation for life: both life on this earth and eternal life.
