Contents
As of the 2009-10 school year, the school had an enrollment of 335 students and 30.1 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.1:1. Eastern Christian follows a program called "Faith in Action" in which every student in the high school is required to complete a certain amount of volunteer hours in order to get their high school diploma. In 2015, Eastern Christian School was recognized as a National School of Character and was rated as one of "The 50 Best Christian Schools in America."
Athletics
The Eastern Christian Eagles compete in the North Jersey Interscholastic Conference (NJIC), made up of private and public high schools located in Bergen County, Hudson County and Passaic County, following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association. Prior to the NJSIAA's realignment that took effect in the fall of 2010, Eastern Christian was a member of the smaller Bergen-Passaic Scholastic League (BPSL).
In 2007, the girls soccer team, seeded #2, won the North B state sectional championship with a 3-0 win over top-seeded Gill St. Bernard's School in the tournament final, the team's first title in this section. The team moved on to win the Group B state championship with a 2-1 win over Bishop Eustace High School.
Eastern Christian won the first North Non-Public B state sectional track and field title, edging second place team Villa Walsh Academy by a margin of 126-123. Cross country runner Kristen Traub won the Non-Public B individual title in 2009.
