An Emmanuel Parent answered some of our questions...
1. Why did you choose Emmanuel?
“We have four kids all together, and 3 years ago we were looking for a school where our three elementary aged kids could attend all together. We also wanted a loving, Christian environment and teachers who could both challenge and work with our kids in the areas they needed it most. We were looking for a place where they could broaden themselves as people, experience sports, the arts and service. I’m happy to say, we have found all of that at Emmanuel!”
Since 1958, Emmanuel Lutheran School has served students and families in Asheville, North Carolina. We have always been committed to both sharing the gospel with our community and providing the highest quality academic experience. Our commitment to these aspects of education has helped us fulfill our mission to prepare children For Today, For Tomorrow, Forever.
At ELS, we find that Christian education and STEAM go together like two peas in a pod. In this post, we are discussing how students benefit from focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics in a gospel-centered academic environment.
The days are growing shorter. The weather is growing colder. Time previously spent out and about is now becoming more and more time spent indoors. It is not surprising then that so many students become discouraged during this time - the gloomy weather turning into a gloomy mood.
Thankfully, being the resourceful parent/guardian that you are, you’re prepared for this possibility, and you’ve come seeking help on how to give your student the best possible chance for combatting the ‘Winter Blues!’
Here’s how we recommend helping your student to stay positive about school during winter.
Even though it is not quite Christmas, many are already looking forward to the new year. Sadly, for several, part of the attraction of the new year is that it means that this one is over!
This year has been a year filled with challenges for almost every student in America. With the constant concerns swirling about regarding COVID-19, vaccinations, in-person learning, as well as the common day-to-day pressures of being a student in general, it is no wonder that many students are struggling to look forward with hope.
Yet, hope is on the horizon. As, God willing, times begin to improve, it is the perfect time for students to work on improving themselves as well. Rather than adopting the same dour attitude as many around us, let us and our students instead take on an attitude of excitement for the opportunity that the new year represents.
