Mt. Eccles is a Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade elementary school, providing a quality program for approximately 200 students. Our academic program includes technology, physical education, art, music and 5th and 6th grade band. We use the expertise of 10 classroom teachers, a teacher for students who are limited English proficient, 2 special education (including speech) teachers, a physical education teacher, a remedial math/reading teacher, several instructional aides, a half time music teacher and a part time art instructor. We also have an active Site Council. Cordova City Schools offer elementary students the opportunity to compete in the State Spelling Bee, Geography Bee, Problem Solving and Battle of the Books.

We also depend on the communities continued commitment to education and the youth of Cordova for several enrichment programs. Mt. Eccles works with the Native Village of Eyak to provide an introduction to the Alutiiq language, the native language of Prince William Sound. We work in unison with the City of Cordova who not only provides the school building but also the use of the city library, museum and pool, with staff. Mt. Eccles has a partnership with the Prince William Sound Science Center, who provides the school with monthly science hands on experiences and field trips. The local Forest Service, Chamber of Commerce and the Science Center include the elementary children in their sea week and shorebird activities. Junior Achievement is active in the school, also. The community health nurse provides maturation education for the 4th-6th grade students. The State Troopers provide gun safety instruction for our students.
