Emmanuel Christian School (DDO, Qc)

What Emmanuel Christian School (DDO, Qc) does

Emmanuel Christian School (EMCS) is a private, non-profit Christian school operating under a permit from the Quebec Ministry of Education (MEES) at 4698 St-Jean Boulevard in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Quebec. Founded in 1975 in Dorval with 38 students in Grades 7 and 8, the school incrementally built out a full Kindergarten through Secondary 5 program between 1981 and 1983, and relocated to its current permanent premises in 1993 after a two-year temporary stay in Pierrefonds. The school is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, operates as a registered charity, and does not receive government funding.

EMCS delivers bilingual French/English education from Kindergarten through Secondary 5 following the MEES-accredited curriculum, leading to a Quebec Secondary Leaving Diploma and, for English-track students taking all French option courses, a Bilingual Leaving Certificate. Beyond core academics, the school layers on a competitive sports program (basketball, soccer, badminton, curling, volleyball, track and field in the GMAA league), a music program offering individual instruction (guitar, piano, violin, saxophone, percussion) and dance classes, before/after-school daycare for elementary students, hot meal services, bus transportation, and a mission program run in partnership with Youth For Christ that includes international trips.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition and registration fees, supplemented by ancillary fee-based services (music lessons, dance classes, hot meals, daycare on pedagogical days, transportation) and donations processed through CanadaHelps. A bursary partnership with the Christian Foundation provides up to $4,000 per family with $40,000 disbursed annually. The school's technology footprint is operational rather than transformative: COBA for student information and admissions, ClassDojo for parent communication, and CanadaHelps for donation processing. Customer acquisition is relationship-driven — Open House events, school tours by appointment, church partnerships, parent volunteer referrals, and community events such as the Summer Carnival. EMCS targets Christian families in Montreal's West Island who seek faith-integrated education, with no certificate of eligibility required for enrollment.
