Eastminster School is making a lifetime impact on students by providing a liberal arts education which includes emphasis on the study of Western Civilization; the Canon of Core Media; free-market economics; democratic principles of governance and civic participation; cultural diversity; and religious tolerance.
Reading is the primary means of building relationships between students across divisions.
The school continues to develop a unique program of extracurriculars and academic specials which attracts families, promotes “well-roundedness” in students, and takes advantage of facilities which exist proximate to the school.
