What Eastern Christian High School does

Eastern Christian School is a private, non-profit Christian school founded in 1892 (originally as Eastern Academy) in Paterson, New Jersey, and now operating across three campuses in northern New Jersey: Preschool & Elementary (Midland Park), Upper Elementary & Middle School (Wyckoff), and High School (North Haledon). It is self-described as New Jersey's oldest, largest, and fastest-growing Christian school, serving Christian families in northern NJ and select areas of New York, with a 11:1 student-to-faculty ratio, 95% college placement rate, and $7M+ in scholarships offered to the Class of 2022. The school is Middle States-accredited P-12, a 2025 member of CESA, a National School of Character (2021), and a Top Workplaces 2026 honoree (eighth time).

The core product is integrated P-12 Christ-centered education, augmented by specialized programs including Project Acceleration dual credit with Seton Hall University (up to 30 college credits), Horizons accelerated learning, Owl's Nest/T.E.S.S. academic support, Honors Academy, an AP/Dual Enrollment track, an international student program with homestay, Eagles summer day camps, youth sports training, and adult sports leagues. Technology infrastructure is built entirely on third-party EdTech SaaS — MySchoolApp (portals), Scoir (college counseling), x2VOL (service hours), SchoolAdmin (enrollment), Regpack (camp registration), Parchment (transcripts), Digital Sports/Hudl/Arbiter (athletics), and Google Calendar — with no proprietary platform or in-house development. The revenue model is predominantly annual variable tuition (subscription-like, recurring annually) supplemented by donations and fundraising (T.R.I.P. tuition credits, Giving Tuesday, auction galas, capital campaigns), fees from summer camps and youth/adult sports, and international student tuition with homestay. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via campus tours, open houses, church partnerships, alumni referrals, and community events; there is no parent company and ownership rests with a board-governed Foundation.
