Education & Services
Emmanuel Christian High School is a vibrant place offering a full course load to all students from Grade 9 to 12, including all necessary required and elective courses to achieve the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Students can also participate in many extracurricular opportunities, including athletics and student clubs.
I just started grade 9 at ECHS. I love going to school here and every day I learn more about the LORD and all the blessings He has given us. Starting in a new school with some people you know and a lot of new people you don’t know, was a bit nerve-racking. But as the weeks went on, I loved getting to meet new people from different schools and making new friends.
ECHS Clubs & Athletics
ARPA Club
Students who join this club grow in their awareness and knowledge of local, provincial and federal political issues, especially those highlighted by the Association for Reformed Political Action (ARPA). They seek to share their Christian voice in the area of politics by distributing pamphlets, writing letters, interviewing people, organizing assemblies or attending the ARPA Youth conference.
Drama Club
This bi-annual club puts on a full-length play or musical in the spring. Through an audition process in November students are chosen. The cast practices from December through April, learning lines, attending practices, building sets, or running tech. Students will experience lots of hard work, bonding, fun and enthusiasm.

Student Leadership Team
SLT consists of creative, energetic senior students at ECHS whose goal is to foster a God-centered atmosphere inside and outside of the classrooms in addition to the academic pursuits of learning. They plan and organize activities like skating, events, programs, and theme days and weeks throughout the school year.
Tuck Shop
Every day, during the lunch break, members of the SLT open a Tuck Shop in the school’s front lobby. It’s a great opportunity for students to socialize and enjoy a favourite treat, even fresh baked cookies!During the last months of the school year, ice-cream and freezies are sold. Money earned from the Tuck Shop supports the activities of the Student Leadership Team.
Yearbook
Our yearbook club works hard during the school year taking photos of all aspects of our life at ECHS. This culminates in a stunning yearbook they create that students can purchase as a beautiful memento of their high school years.
