Welcome to the Emmanuel Academy Website!
- We help students strengthen their academic skills and knowledge base with Saxon’s proven, traditional lessons in mathematics and phonemic awareness.
- Our goal is to assure that no gaps develop or remain in a child’s learning which will interfere with successful school achievement.
- Based on a diagnostic test and review of each student’s records (with available grades and test scores), an individual contract is designed to meet each student’s specific needs.

- Results, not methodology, should be the basis for curriculum decisions.
- Students do not detest work; they detest effort without purpose.
- Teachers say they are going to teach the children to think. The children can think already. What they need to know is the math (or phonics) to use in their thinking.
- Creativity springs unsolicited from a well-prepared mind.
- Fundamental knowledge is the basis of creativity.
