Classical Christian Education for All of West Virginia.
The Athanasius Academy at ECS is the answer to two intertwined challenges: First, the need to make classical Christian education available statewide; Second, the fact our geography and population distribution means some West Virginians will never be close to a traditional Christian school. The Athanasius Academy at ECS uses a hybrid approach to answer both challenges.
