What Parents Should Know

As a private school, David Emanuel Academy operates independently from the local public school district.

Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.

Located in a rural area, David Emanuel Academy may involve longer commutes for some families.
