ELCA has given us an environment that offers a tremendous balance of accountability and grace; one that walks alongside my girls, reinforcing what we value as a family — a gospel-centered worldview. I have never questioned their physical or emotional safety with teachers and administration. Everyone has given them the space to grow as a person, become independent and figure out what God has uniquely created them to do.” ​ -Heather, ELCA Parent Why do parents choose ELCA? Academic Rigor Our middle schoolers are challenged with a strong academic program designed to prepare them for high school, college, and beyond. They are continuously engaged in subjects taught from a biblical perspective, helping them gain knowledge in light of God's Word. ​ Leadership Opportunities ELCA middle school students have several opportunities to sharpen their leadership skills. They can join the Student Government Association, and organizations such as the National Junior Beta Club. We also encourage them to take roles in weekly chapel services and daily prayer time.

Our middle schoolers enjoy a variety of enriching electives such as robotics, art , foreign language, band, drama, and more.

SPIRITUAL LIFE Spiritual Growth ELCA strives to provide a Christ-centered program through its atmosphere, curriculum, and staff. However, ELCA’s efforts are not a substitute for personal, spiritual growth. We strongly encourage each family member to strengthen his/her personal faith through the study of God’s Word (the Bible), active involvement in a Bible-teaching church, and prayer. ​ Emphasis for Spiritual Formation ELCA’s plan for spiritual formation and development focuses on 4 distinct anchors. We seek to ENGAGE students with the gospel of Jesus Christ, EQUIP them through spiritual formation and Christ-centered worldview, EMPOWER them to serve as ambassadors for Christ, and ENCOURAGE them to remain faithful and steadfast here and for years to come! These anchors are grounded in a Christ-centered, Bible-based, foundation. ​ Vision for Spiritual Formation For our students to know Jesus, be transformed by His work on the cross, and to be given opportunities to grow through discipleship, stewardship, and service. ​ The Foundation of the Bible The Bible is God’s Word to us. It is the most important book at ELCA. It leads, guides, and informs the mission of the school. In all areas of school life, God’s Word is useful teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that our students are prepared for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17). All classes are taught through a Biblical worldview. Every student is expected to have his/her Bible at school every day. ​ Chapel Chapel is a time for celebration of praise and worship of Jesus Christ. Chapel is a regular part of school life at ELCA, and every student is required to attend the service every week. Middle School and High School students are expected to bring their Bible to chapel. Correct posture in chapel is very important as well as respect for the program and speaker. Students who continue to be disrespectful during chapel may be subject to disciplinary measures. ​ Spiritual Life Initiatives ELCA seeks to fulfill its plan for spiritual formation through the following spiritual life initiatives: Daily Bible class, Accountability Groups and Community Time, Student Leadership Development, Chapel Program, Generational Mentoring, Bible Studies, Missional Opportunities for Stewardship and Service, Equipping and Supporting Families, and Training and Developing Staff. All spiritual life initiatives are implemented in partnership with Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church.

FAITHFUL TO THE WORD FRIDAYS SGA Chaplain Led Devotions Devotion by Claire Massengale Devotion by Miller Doerr Devotion by Alyssa Leventhal Devotion by Janine Baldwin Devotion by Nyla Osmani Devotion by Miller Doerr Devotion by Claire Massengale

A THANK YOU FROM COVONE MINISTRIES Covone Ministries (Phil and Jami Covone and volunteers) want to thank Eagle's Landing Christian Academy in McDonough, GA for their prayers and faithful financial support in helping us take the gospel to the people of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The people living in the rural areas of Mexico have very little resource for the gospel. Their traditional religion has them worshiping images and legends that aren't real, and working for salvation as a chance to go to heaven for eternity. This video was made at La Polvora ranch an hour and a half outside the capital city of San Luis Potosi, in the state with the same name, San Luis Potosi. The people in this desert area have no running water, so they depend on rainwater for washing and watering, and they have many clever ways of catching it. Most homes are made of adobe, which decays rapidly, or stones, and most have dirt floors. Work is scarce, but many people have goats and sheep that they raise for their income. Depression, drunkenness, and drug abuse is common, especially in the men, probably due to the lack of work and education here. Covone Ministries holds two Bible studies each Friday at La Polvora, the first one is on the north side of the ranch, and the second is on the south side. Since most people don't have a vehicle to drive, they walk a long way to participate with the Bible study groups. If you'd like more info about Covone Ministries in Mexico, or want to see pictures and read stories from the mission field, you can find us at www.covoneministries.com . JEANS FOR MISSIONS FRIDAYS ARE PERFECT FOR JEANS! Each Friday of the school year, students have the opportunity to unite with missionaries around the world to share the hope of Jesus Christ. Your donation makes a difference in the lives of others and wearing jeans is an outward sign that you are a partner in these ministries. Have you ever wondered where the money goes? WHO WE SERVE Through Jeans for Missions, ELCA provides over $1500 in monthly support toward ministries such as: ​ Mission Quest: Phil and Jamie Covone in Mexico ​ Helping In His Name Food Pantry: Henry County ​ Fellowship of Christian Athletes ​ Grace Team - Planting Christian Schools in Africa ​ WaterStone – supporting Christian education around the world DONATE Donations to Jeans for Missions is billed to your student's account at the beginning of the school year as a one-time sum of $35 per year ($1 for each Friday of the school year). ​ ​ New Families starting school after August 3 will have the opportunity to opt in during the admissions process.

The mission of the Eagle's Landing Christian Academy Choral Program is to educate and inspire students in the performing arts disciplines, equip them to serve the body of Christ. Middle school students participate in the appropriate performing arts classes where they can specialize and develop specific skills for their performing art. Students are given the opportunity in high school to develop a mastery of their specific performing art which will prepare them to take the next steps at the university level and continue to serve the body of Christ as adults through the performing arts. ​ Choral classes are geared towards ensemble performance. Relevant music theory, music history, and aspects of vocal pedagogy are also taught. The choral ensemble experience enables students to receive a well-rounded music education in performance, theory, music history, culture, and God centered worldview. It also helps students to develop a mastery of singing skills that can be used to serve the body of Christ in choirs, praise teams, or praise bands. For those students wishing to pursue music in college, or simply advance their vocal skills, training to be part of the All State Chorus, and to prepare for vocal scholarship auditions is also offered. VIRTUAL PERFORMANCE UPPER SCHOOL CHORAL MUSIC EAGLE'S LANDING CHRISTIAN ACADEMY UPPER SCHOOL INTRODUCTION UPPER SCHOOL CHORAL MUSIC UPPER SCHOOL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC UPPER SCHOOL MUSICAL THEATER UPPER SCHOOL VISUAL ARTS SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS Grades 5-12 ELCA has a robust offering of visual and performing arts disciplines. ​ Throughout the year, students perform musical theater productions, dramatic plays, orchestra and band concerts, choral concerts, and more. It is our desire that students will grow in their skills and love of their art and serve the Lord with their talents. Middle School Visual Art: (Grades 5-8) – Middle school art is a further exploration of the visual arts using knowledge previously introduced to students in elementary school art. Middle school students will learn more about the elements and principles of art and will create many works of art using a much more expansive variety of media. Students are graded on a combination of classwork, sketchbook assignments, art projects, and daily participation. ​ High School Visual Art: (Grades 9-12): High school art students study the visual arts in much more detail and comprehensive art classes are designed to prep students to study art at university. The courses include Comprehensive Art 1, Comprehensive Art 2, and Selected Studio Art. ​ Advanced Placement Art: Advanced Placement classes are for the serious art student who is eager to begin working at the college level immediately. These students MUST be self-motivated because much work will have to be done outside of class. Assignments are given to students in the spring before they leave for the summer. Student’s complete their AP Art year with a student show of their pieces. Portfolios are judged by the Advanced Placement Institute and students may earn college credit if they score well on their portfolio. ​ NATIONAL ART HONOR SOCIETY The middle school students at ELCA are eligible to be a part of the National Junior Art Honor Society. This program cultivates interest in art programs to inspire, encourage, and recognize the younger art student. When a student completes junior membership, they are encouraged to begin anew with a membership in the National Art Honor Society. The NAHS strives to aid members in working toward the attainment of the highest standards in art areas, and to bring art education to the attention of the school and community. For students to achieve high standards, art programs must maintain a substantive focus by choosing art content that includes complex problem solving and higher order thinking skills, and serious alignment of curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development that results in student learning. Participation in these programs is a mark of accomplishment in the school and community and is well recognized by institutions when your students apply for entry into colleges or universities.

"What does diversity mean to you? How do you celebrate diversity?" UNITY ELCA strives to nurture a unified community of God-centered individuals who are known and valued for whom God distinctly created them to be. We recognize and respect our cultural differences and unique abilities, rejoice in our similarities, and love ALL individuals as image-bearers of God. ​ Students at ELCA have the privilege of growing up in a richly diverse student population. As you walk our halls, you get a sense of what Heaven will be like as you see students who come from many different racial and cultural backgrounds. In a focused effort to strengthen our diverse culture, we have established a Unity Council to discuss critical issues within our school. The council consists of parents, staff members, and students who meet on a regular basis to discuss ongoing issues and create strategies for future improvement. Our foundational principle is that all people are created in the image of God. As image-bearers, we all have great value in the eyes of the Creator and thus we should treat those who are different than us with that mindset. The word GRACE describes our focus on diversity within the school... G - gender R - race A - age and ability C - culture E - economic ability All of these groups are represented within our school and are recognized within God's word. Our goal is to teach our students that God has created us in His image and for His glory. As students begin to grasp that concept, they are able to respond to one another in a truly Biblical way. ​ ​ Unity Council Members: ​ Alexa Blackburn Rylee Collier Ana Corales Christopher Craddock Grace Lee Kaila Leslie Madison Norwood Jiya Patel Gracie Rivers Donovan Smalls ​ ​ Student Testimony: Being a part of the Council is a way to immerse myself into new, enriching cultures, and it provides a way for me to be aware of how culture impacts our daily lives. I have a deep interest in learning about new things, especially in now they relate to the current world and how it impacts me and shapes my Christian worldview. I have a serious passion about learning what make us (as individuals) who we are; and I feel like culture is a big part of that. I also am deeply passionate about seeing all the beauty in all that God created us to be, and how He uses our culture to shape us. I mean, look at all of this diversity and culture that God created and He loves us all, and He created us all in His image. That, to me, is amazing and marvelous to think about! -Nadia Osmani, Class of 2022 ​ Inquire Ethnic Unity Council IMAGE BEARERS...all people are created in the image of God.

So, if you need more than the two seats that come with the membership you can now purchase more with this option. This is reduced from past years. Priority will be given first to renewals from last year and then new requests based on the date we receive the form. ​ We would appreciate your support and you can see the attached form to join. Just send it in with your child and we can bill your account for your membership. This year we have added to the bottom of our membership form a pay in three payments line. Just check that line if you would like for us to bill you in three payments. We understand at the start of the new school year that expenses add up and we hope that the new payment in three can be of assistance to your family. ​ Sincerely, Eddy Wright President - ELCA Booster Club JOIN THE BOOSTER CLUB CHARGER COLLEGE SIGNINGS CLASS OF 2024 Joshua Banks – Stetson University (Football) Favour Edwin -

The strength of our curriculum is reflected in our students’ achievement, engagement, and post-graduate success.

Students develop their identity in Christ through Bible stories, grow socially through collaboration with peers, and start building the foundation for future academics. In addition to core subject areas, students are introduced to music, art, instructional technology, Spanish, and library. Visit our Early Learning Academy page to learn more about our programs and schedule options. ​ Elementary School (K-4) ​ Our Kingdom Education approach helps students in kindergarten through grade 5 develop both a strong academic foundation and a biblical worldview. Our curriculum exceeds state standards to provide students with the knowledge and skills to achieve their potential. Core subjects are Bible, reading, math, science, history, and language arts. Enrichments such as art, music, Spanish, technology, P.E., and more round out the curriculum and help students explore their interests. Special events include field trips, academic competitions, and festivals that showcase our students’ budding talents. Read more about our elementary program . ​ Middle School (5-8) ​ When students enter middle school, they are ready to take on more challenging academics and pursue their God-given gifts. An intentionally-designed curriculum keeps students engaged in the classroom, and athletics, fine arts programs, and leadership opportunities foster friendships built on shared interests. Middle school students prepare for the next steps in their education by enrolling in Honors classes, taking the PSAT and the Pre-ACT, and setting meaningful goals. Visit our middle school page to learn more about our engaging curriculum, character education, exciting electives, and opportunities for growth outside the classroom. ​ High School (9-12) ​ High school is not just about preparing for college; it’s about preparing for life. At ELCA, students prepare for lives of impact as they strengthen their faith, define their passions, and hone their skills. Honors, AP, and Early College courses equip high school students for success at the college level, and a dedicated College Placement & Guidance staff ensures each student is competitive for admission to their best-fit universities.

Whether they are in pre-kindergarten or high school, you know their learning environment will shape their future. Here are a few of the most important reasons families partner with ELCA: ​ ​ Alignment ​ Our Pre-K teachers sit down with our high school teachers to align our curriculum in a meaningful way, enabling students to incorporate a biblical worldview as they develop mastery of core knowledge throughout the years. ELCAs close-knit community is centered on shared Christian values, and we view each child’s education as a partnership with their parents. Families are invited to be involved in classroom activities and auxiliary organizations. ​ ​ Differentiation ​ We recognize that every child is a unique creation of God with varied strengths, challenges, and learning styles. With optimal class sizes, teachers are able to differentiate their instruction to meet the needs of all learners. Students are encouraged to pursue excellence at the next level through our Excel, Honors, and AP programs, and our Student Support Services are available to assist those who need extra help in one or more subject areas. ​ ​ Success ​ In the past ten years, our students have attended over 140 different post-secondary institutions including: ​ Naval Academy Emory UCLA Messiah Wheaton Northwestern University NYU Spelman Dartmouth Georgia Institute of Technology Georgetown University of Chicago Morehouse Liberty University Air Force Academy Penn State Tulane University of Georgia Clark Atlanta University West Point Purdue University University of Alabama University of Tennessee University of Kentucky Auburn University Clemson University Georgia State University USC (California) Howard University Hofstra University Syracuse University In 2023, 81 ELCA graduates earned over $50 million in scholarship dollars!
