From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emmanuel Christian School (EMCS) is a Christian private elementary and high school located in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Quebec. The school bases its educational and religious values primarily on Evangelical Protestant principles.

Emmanuel High School opened its doors to 38 students enrolled in Grades 7 and 8 in September 1975. The school was located in the former Surrey Gardens Elementary School, which belonged to the then Protestant School Board of Montreal. An additional grade was formed and admitted each consecutive year until the first year of graduates obtained their diplomas in 1979.

In September 1981, Kindergarten and Grades 1 and 2 classes became available, followed by Grades 3 and 4 in September 1982. Grades 5 and 6 were added in September 1983 until the complete school, from Kindergarten to Secondary 5 was formed.

In 1991, the school moved out of the premises it had rented for 16 years in Dorval in search of a permanent location. The school was located in temporary quarters on Gouin Boulevard in Pierrefonds for two years.

In 1993, Emmanuel Christian School chose a permanent site. After many renovations necessary to convert the property, the school moved in on Thanksgiving weekend of that year into its current building on Boulevard St-Jean in Dollard-des-Ormeaux.

Fall 2015 marked the 40th anniversary of Emmanuel Christian School.
