Evangelical Christian School, also known as ECS, is a private, non-denominational, evangelical Christian school in Memphis, Tennessee. It was founded in 1965 and joined Association of Christian Schools International in 1984. It hosts grades Pre-K to 12, with grades Pre-K through 5th grade at the Lower School campus in Germantown, TN and grades 6-12 at the Macon campus in Cordova, TN.
The Lower School campus hosts students in grades Pre-K through 5th. The faculty teach students in a variety of disciplines such as science, math, English and literature, history, and Bible study. Additional course offerings are available, such as art, physical education, music, and Spanish.
At the "tech-lab," students in grades 2 through 5 are taught basic computer skills necessary for high school and middle school, such as Powerpoint presentations and project research. Students are exposed to computers and the Internet in a monitored environment.
Every Thursday, in addition to the daily scheduled activities, the schools hold a chapel service. A speaker delivers a message to the students about a Bible lesson, and often presents an entertaining skit or event or demonstration to keep the children's attention.
The Macon campus includes the middle school and upper school campuses. Although they are on the same grounds, the middle school and high school students are taught in separate buildings; they also have separate principals, teachers, and lunch times. The middle school grades consist of grades 6 through 8. These students are taught math, science, Bible, geography, English, literature, and many other subjects.
Evangelical Christian School's mascot is the eagle, with team colors of cardinal and white. ECS is in the Division 2 (private schools) of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association. ECS participates in football, soccer, baseball, softball, swimming, track and field, cross country running, tennis, basketball, lacrosse, and golf.
ECS has won a total of 23 State championships in 9 different sports: Baseball 1986, 1996, 1998, 2011, 2013 Football 1983, 1999, 2000, 2005 Boys Golf 1995, 2009, 2012 Boys Soccer 2010, 2011 Boys Decathlon 2010, 2011 Boys Basketball 2011 Girls Soccer 2015, 2016 Girls Track 1981, 2010, 2014 Volleyball 2009
