EUREKA EDUCATIONAL MINISTRIES
Where students learn...excel...think...THRIVE!
"Eureka teachers are such fun! My students love their classes and come home excited about what they're learning!" ~parent of 3rd grader

"I love the way they make me want to learn. It's not like other schools. These teachers really care. They even pray with me when I'm having a hard time understanding something!" ~3rd grader

"Mrs. Richmond took the time to identify a learning disability that no other teacher had noticed. She gave me concrete ways to start working with my child in a way that would compensate for their dislexia. No school teacher had ever done that before. It has made a huge difference." ~parent of 4th grader

"My son understands math and feels more confident after his time with Mrs. Seymour. She's patient and helpful and really made math less stressful for him." ~parent of 10th grader

"We've attended public, private, and now we are homeschooling. I cannot imagine doing it without Eureka. The teachers have been instrumental in making this a successful year for all of us!" ~parent of 4th and 7th graders

Eureka teachers are multi-lingual, degreed, and certified in various fields of study. They are professionals, detailed, compassionate and patient. They study to stay current, but don't swing with the pendulum of academic whims. They love Jesus and His Word and have lived their lives as a reflection of His love and teachings. They have raised and are raising children of their own, have taught in public, private and homeschool settings, and have served in ministry within their churches and in other countries. But this is not the totality of what makes Eureka teachers so special. Eureka only partners with teachers who have a heart and passion for teaching that simply oozes, yes, oozes from their souls! There really is no mistaking it. When you walk on campus, it's our teachers and their love for kids that sets us apart!
