Eastern Christian School (EC) is a private Christian school in northern New Jersey, founded in 1892, with campuses in Midland Park, North Haledon and Wyckoff, about 12 miles from New York City. It teaches children from preschool through grade 12 from a Reformed Christian perspective and is accredited by Christian Schools International and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.

The school has taken international students for more than 20 years, from countries such as China, South Korea, Spain, Italy, Germany, India and Nigeria. They study alongside American students in a college-preparatory high school programme that includes more than 40 advanced and dual enrollment courses, some carrying university credit, together with personalised college and career counselling. The school reports a student-to-faculty ratio of 11:1. Students can join more than 30 sports teams and take part in visual arts, music and theatre, and international students have monthly social activities and trips during school breaks.

International students live with Eastern Christian host families through the school's homestay programme. An international student advisor offers help with the application.
