Both of my children attended here from 2001 through 2019. I became the ECA Administrator in 2018 and love our students and staff. We are a safe school with a great academic program presented in a Christian environment. Come see the difference! We offer a free parent interview to answer any questions before you commit your finances. Go Lions!
