Emerald Mountain Christian School
URL: http://www.emeraldmountainchristianschool.org
Emerald Mountain Christian School is a private Christian school founded over 40 years ago. They use the Principle Approach®, which emphasizes research, reasoning, relating, and recording to help students synthesize the information they learn, rather than just requiring rote memorization. More information about the school’s history can be found at their History page.
What We Did – They had a website with very basic information and very little styling. We developed a theme (the one currently in use), based in large part on the design of their printed materials, and they approved the design. Initially, the site only contained the content from their previous site. We then put their school calendar of events up on the site, where parents could find the dates for upcoming events. Finally, we put all the material from their Parent Information Packet online, which helped prospective families learn more about the school without having to visit it.
What We Still Do – Since 2004, DJS Consulting has developed and hosted the site. We update the events each year, and are currently looking at what additional content could be placed online.
