As Accredited members of the Association of Classical Christian Schools, Evangelical Christian Academy benefits from the ability to use some of their national promotional products.

Evangelical Christian Academy has officially been part of the Classical Christian education (CCE) community since 2009.

Read MoreOur Trip to the Secondary
The day finally came! The sixth grade class was going to go to the Secondary. From what my class said most of us were nervous and excited, including me. When I go there the first thing I though was that I would never find my way to each classroom. But…I was wrong. I love ECA…
Read MoreLet us Exalt Christ similar to the ways of John the Baptist
