Pioneer Day was a fun and immersive experience for students at both the Wexford and Berkeley Hills campuses as they explored life in the Wild West. As part of their social studies units on westward expansion, students dressed as cowboys and pioneers and spent the day participating in hands-on activities and old-fashioned games. They created quilt pieces, painted with quills, made their own butter, and built edible covered wagons using graham crackers, icing, and marshmallows. Students also enjoyed classic games and competitions such as sack races, three-legged races, pillowcase relays, charades, pick-up-sticks, jacks, and trying their hand at Cat’s Cradle. Some groups even ended the day with a digital adventure by playing Oregon Trail online. Pioneer Day offered a memorable blend of creativity, teamwork, and history, bringing the spirit of the frontier to life in a fun and engaging way.

Prior to Thanksgiving break, seven seniors in our Servant Leadership class, Brett, Ava, Ainsley, Hailey, Kaylee, Aleiah, and Lauren, had the remarkable opportunity to serve at a local safe house for women transitioning out of human trafficking. What began as a class assignment quickly grew into a meaningful outreach project fueled by compassion and teamwork. After several weeks of planning, fundraising, and preparation, students raised approximately $1,500, developed a budget, purchased materials, and spent a full day renovating the facility’s art and lounge space to create a warmer, safer, and more hopeful environment. They cleaned, organized, decorated, and added thoughtful touches that transformed the room physically, while also demonstrating genuine empathy for the women who will use it. As a next step in supporting this ministry, Mount Nebo families are being invited to help provide Hope Bags for women at the moment they are rescued, many of whom leave with almost nothing. Students will be collecting small donations (suggested: $5 per student) during lunch this week, with labeled jars by grade level, to help fund these bags and extend the impact of their project. Staff at the safe house expressed deep gratitude, sharing how meaningful this refreshed space will be for women beginning a new chapter of healing and hope. We are incredibly proud of our students for using their leadership training to serve others in such a tangible, Christ-centered way.

Chemistry students put Dalton’s Atomic Theory to the test and discovered that you can’t turn metals into gold, no matter how hard you try! By coating pennies in zinc and heating them, students created brass, a copper–zinc alloy that looks a lot like gold (and probably fooled some hopeful alchemists in the past!). This hands-on experiment was a fun reminder that, according to Dalton, matter can’t be created or destroyed, only changed.

In his October message, President David Schutt addressed how Eden is leading with love and truth in uncertain times. He reminded families that even in a world filled with confusion and division, Eden’s mission remains clear to raise students who are courageous, grounded in biblical truth, and guided by Christ’s love.

Dr. Schutt emphasized Eden’s commitment to engaging thoughtfully with the world through a biblical lens and ensuring the safety and well-being of every student—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. After visiting every classroom this fall, he shared what stood out most: “I saw teachers not just instructing, but discipling. I saw biblical truth woven naturally into every subject and a culture rooted in Christ’s love.”

He closed by thanking parents for their trust and partnership in this sacred mission, and by celebrating the joy of community shown at the All-School Picnic, a true reflection of koinonia in action.

Berkeley Hills recently welcomed a special guest, Pastor Sean Braithwaite from Allison Park Church, who shared an inspiring message with us. Pastor Sean emphasized that Jesus came to bring us the good news of the Gospel. In the beginning, God lived in close fellowship with humanity. However, when people sinned, they became separated from God, losing that intimacy. This created a gap that humanity could not bridge on its own. Jesus came to fill that gap, allowing us to restore our fellowship with God and with one another.

This school year has gotten off to a fantastic start! Although classes are just beginning, chapel has already become an essential part of student life and spiritual growth at Eden. Each week, students gather across our campuses to worship, hear God’s Word, and be challenged to live out their faith in practical ways. These moments of prayer, praise, and teaching not only strengthen their walk with Christ but also help build a sense of unity and fellowship within the Eden community.

As President David Schutt shared, “We know your hopes for your children extend far beyond academics. You desire for them to grow in wisdom, character, and, most importantly, in their relationship with Christ. This is our shared vision—and it is already coming to life.”

Chapel continues to be a beautiful reminder that at Eden, education is more than academics; it is about shaping both the mind and the heart for Christ.

In his first message of the school year, President David Schutt shared his gratitude for the Eden community and his vision for a year of growth in Christ. He reminded us that at Eden, we have unity “rooted in shared values, shared faith, and a shared commitment to raising children who know, love, and follow Jesus.” What a joy to know that at Eden, education is more than academic excellence. “We are shaping not only minds but hearts. We are nurturing character. And we are doing it together—in partnership with you.” 

Dr. Schutt highlighted the gift of koinonia, a deep fellowship with God and with one another through the work of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, as central to Eden’s mission. As we welcome new families, students, and teachers, he encouraged all of us to move forward in unity, joy, and grace.

In Mrs. Sprowls’ CP Geometry class, students put their vocabulary knowledge to the test with a fun activity called Word Quest! Similar to the game Heads Up, students worked in teams using Geometry vocabulary words. One student held the word card while classmates gave clues, but instead of reading the textbook definition, they had to explain the term in their own words. This interactive game not only brought energy and laughter to the classroom but also helped students deepen their understanding by practicing how to define and communicate key Geometry concepts.

During the months of March and April, the junior Bible class took on the goal of raising funds to help an organization called EduNations, a faith-based, non-profit organization that builds and operates schools in under-resourced communities. They seek to educate children, ignite hope, and transform their lives. One of their programs is called "Meals for Mariatu." This program specifically raises funds to feed school children in the African country of Sierra Leone. The fifty students of the junior Bible class were divided into seven groups (of six to seven students each) and were tasked with raising funds to meet this need. Each group set a goal to raise $330, which is enough to feed five students for a month. The groups came up with individual strategies to raise these funds, including the following: concessions at a volleyball event, a lunch time raffle, a dodgeball tournament, a waffle breakfast, scoops and spoons (an ice cream bar and games during study hall), selling various food options during lunch, and morning donut sales. 

In 2024-2025 school year, over 70 students participated in the Peer Tutoring & Mentoring program for students and tutors in grades 7-12.
