ESD is under the administration of the World Mission to the Deaf, a Canadian organization that channels resources to the school and provides counsel.

The Christian School and Chapel for the Deaf uses the Total Communication (TC) approach to provide academic instruction.

Under this philosophy, teachers use whatever means of communication is most readily understood by the student to provide him/her with an appropriate and stimulating level of academic instruction.

Initially conceived and directed by Marisol Matos, the bell choir has grown in popularity and skill.

The students are directed using sign language instead of audible cues and rely on sheet music to know when to play their parts.
