ACADEMICS

Immanuel offers an excellent educational program for students in preschool through eighth grade. Church membership is not required to attend our school. Our school is nationally accredited by the state of Illinois and prepares our students for success in the classroom and beyond. Students learn and grow in a caring Christian environment that emphasizes straight A’s: academics, arts, athletics and an active faith. Immanuel students excel both in our school and in high school in honors classes, prestigious music ensembles, competitive athletics and service organizations with a strong foundation in faith. Extracurricular offerings include competitive conference athletics, band, hand bells and chorus, an annual musical production and Student Council, as well as afternoon classes in chess, art and engineering. The environment and offerings are all grounded in faith, giving our students and staff a place to learn and grow together in the faith.

Immanuel families are highly involved in our school as well, with parent participation strongly encouraged at all levels. Classroom involvement opportunities include room parents, prayer and care parents and volunteers for reading and lunch time help. Our Parent-Teacher League unites us in service to our school, raising much needed financial support for special projects and providing fun social events to encourage fellowship such as family movie nights and dances and adult evenings such as trivia night and our bi-annual auction. Our music program’s Supporting Notes group gives parents an opportunity to support our young musicians, whether in band, chorus or hand bells, in putting on concerts and raising funds. Our Eagle Nation mobilizes to provide fans in the stands for all our athletic teams, including our travels to tournaments out of town.
