Welcome to Essential!

I love Essential! I was so overwhelmed our first year of homeschooling, especially choosing a cover school! But Essential is the perfect blend of having a community and school guidelines with the freedom to teach however it fits your family.

Essential school is a very cost effective, low requirement cover school option. The staff is very quick to respond with any questions I may have and knowledgeable.

Essential has been such a blessing to me and our family! It is affordable and being able to submit grades and attendance online has made our world-traveling family home school experience so much easier! I've tried other cover schools so trust me on this!! And Kristy is absolutely the most helpful and informative home school administrator I know!

I have enjoyed being a part of Essential. The website makes everything convenient and readily available for keeping the students grades, attendance, etc organized. Kristy has always been helpful and supportive with questions that have come up.

We love the peace of mind, support, and knowledge that ECS gives.

Working with Essential Church School has been a great experience for our family. They've provided the administrative support I was looking for, they encourage community, and still allolw us all the freedom we crave as a homeschooling family. Thank you, ECS!

We have used Essential Church School for our legal school cover and school records for five years now. There was one year my son needed to transfer to public school for part of the year. Having our records at ECS made it a breeze to transfer everything over. We're so thankful to Kristy Trent and the other administrators who have helped us at ECS throughout the years.

What I love about Essential is that they're affordable compared to other church schools and they are very prompt with e-mails. They are on top of everything which is great and are very helpful if you have any questions, concerns, etc. I also love that they offer home school families different ways to learn, have fun, and meet new people. I can honestly say that I have had a good experience with Essential and look forward to many more years with them.

Essential is a rapidly growing cover school that strives to create a Christian school experience. From the park dates to the graduations, ECS has helped my family transition from public school to homeschool with ease! Kristy is truly a Godsend!

Everyone I had the privilege to deal with was ready and willing to help and support me.  I appreciated that very much!

Essential Church School has been a constant source of support and an invaluable resource in our homeschooling journey.
