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 dyslexia. No school teacher had ever done that before. It has made a huge difference." ~parent of 4th 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
