Evangelical Christian School, also known as ECS, is a private, non-denominational, evangelical Christian school in Memphis and Germantown, Tennessee. It was founded in 1965 and joined Association of Christian Schools International in 1984.[1] It hosts grades Pre-K to 12, with grades Pre-K through 5th grade at the Lower School campus in Germantown and grades 6-12 at the Macon campus in Memphis' Cordova section.

History

ECS was established in 1965 as part of a wave of private schools formed by white parents in response to desegregation of the public schools.[2] The school began with only primary grades and added one grade each year with the first high school class graduating in 1975.[citation needed]
