History

East Longmeadow Christian Day School opened in September 1972 in the facilities of the First Baptist Church of East Longmeadow, MA. Enrollment that year consisted of eighteen students in grades 1-4, a headmaster, and one teacher. As the school grew, additional grades were added, and in 1975 a high school for grades 9-12 was established. In 1977, Harold Duff, the former president of Christian Schools, Inc. in Maine, joined the school as Headmaster. Duff was the founder of Christian Schools, Inc. which included Glen Cove Christian Academy, Glen Cove Bible College, and Canaan Christian Elementary School [4]
In 1980 Timothy Duff was hired as Headmaster.
In 1985 the school moved to its present campus when it purchased the former Ursuline Academy campus. In 2002 six classrooms were added to the elementary wing. In 2009 a 17,000-square-foot addition was opened, including a science lab and lecture hall, art room, technology room, music rooms for choral and instrumental instruction, a multi-purpose room, and additional classrooms. In 2016 a 39,000 square-foot addition was completed adding a new gymnasium, training rooms, locker rooms, library, and additional classrooms.
In 2023 Headmaster, Timothy Duff retired after 43 years and Joshua Keegan was hired as Head of School.
