After a tour, what is the admissions process?
We are thrilled that you’re considering Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy for your child’s education! Our admissions process is designed to help us get to know your family while making the transition as smooth as possible. Below, you’ll find a simple step-by-step guide to what you can expect along the way.
Step One
Submit your application and required documents
To begin the journey, complete and submit our online application along with the $300 non-refundable application fee. As part of the application, we ask for a few key documents.
Once we’ve received these documents, our Admissions Review Committee will carefully review your child’s file. If everything is in place, we’ll move on to the next step!
Step Two
Entrance Testing
Preschool applicants will complete an age-appropriate assessment to help determine their preparedness for ELCA’s preschool program. Students entering Kindergarten through 12th grade will complete a grade-level assessment to determine whether they are academically prepared for the grade they are entering at ELCA.
Step Three
Family Interview with School Leadership
Once entrance testing is complete, we’ll invite families to interview with our principal and assistant principals. This is the final step in the admissions process and a wonderful opportunity to connect! During this conversation, we’ll discuss how ELCA can partner with your family in your child’s education, answer any remaining questions, and ensure we’re the best fit for your student’s academic and spiritual growth.
Step Four
Admissions Decision
After the family meeting, families will receive a decision regarding acceptance. If accepted, we’ll walk you through the next steps for enrollment and getting ready for an incredible experience at ELCA!
One of the best things I got from ELCA wasn’t just a story or a memory, but a best friend I’ve been able to make countless memories with for the past six years. From sitting next to each other in Honors Pre-Calculus, to graduating high school, spending a whole summer in Houston, and now graduating college and becoming registered nurses together. It’s truly amazing how God worked to bring us together after being 7,700 miles apart for 15 years. God knew we needed each other, not only in that moment, but for life. Through the many ups and downs of our last 2 years of high school, the learning curves and experiences of college, and now navigating adulthood in a career where we both get to serve others, we’ve grown side by side. I’m thankful that ELCA was part of God’s plan in bringing me my best friend for life.

Meet the Admissions Team
We know choosing a school is a big decision because we’ve made that decision for our own families, too. As ELCA parents and admissions professionals, we know ELCA, understand the process, and are always glad to answer questions along the way.
"Surrounded by people who... point them toward Christ."
We feel truly blessed to be a part of the ELCA community. Having both of our children walk through its doors at different stages has allowed us to see firsthand how deeply the teachers and community invest in each child. We are especially grateful that our children are surrounded by people who know them, love them, and continually point them toward Christ.
