School Choice

Emmanuel Christian School and the Indiana School Choice Program

Emmanuel Christian School proudly participates in Indiana’s School Choice Voucher Program. There are no income restrictions, K–12 students may use state funding toward tuition at the non-public school of their choice.

Once enrollment is complete, ECS will prepare and submit the voucher application for your student. A parent or guardian will simply need to review and sign the required paperwork.

Questions about vouchers or financial aid? Contact Angela Vincenti at [email protected]. We’re happy to help!

I’m looking forward to partnering with families to provide engaging learning experiences and build a lifelong love of learning, all while encouraging a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. One of my favorite bible verses is Deuteronomy 6:5 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”
