Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy is committed to partnering with parents to provide a learning environment that encourages growth in Christian character and academic excellence. Through the teaching of Kingdom Education, the elementary curriculum enables the students from kindergarten through fourth grade to develop a Biblical worldview.

EXCEL
EXCEL, Expanded Curriculum for Exceptional Learners, is designed to provide gifted educational opportunities to students in the 2nd-4th grades. EXCEL, based on the classical education approach, offers students the opportunity to pursue excellence in education through differentiated instructional experiences including creativity, problem-solving, and a focus on higher-level thinking. Students must qualify under the state of Georgia guidelines to participate in the gifted program. There are four criteria that are used for admittance: grades, standardized testing in reading and math, a mental ability test, and a creativity test. To remain in EXCEL, students must maintain an A average in all core subjects and exemplify EXCEL quality behavior and attitude in the EXCEL classroom. Students are responsible for making up any work that they miss because of EXCEL.
In EXCEL, we complete one multidisciplinary unit per quarter using a STEM focus - Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. The EXCEL curriculum is project-based and collaborative. Students will learn through exploration and discovery.
EXCEL class verse: "But as you excel in everything---in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you---see that you excel in this act of grace also." ~2 Corinthians 8:7
A traditional curriculum along with a variety of innovative learning strategies and activities are incorporated into the daily lessons. Kindergarten and 1st grade are taught research-based practices, including the phonics-based Abeka curriculum. 2nd through 4th grades use the Foundations and Frameworks reading program which emphasizes reading comprehension with a focus on higher-order thinking skills. Language Arts, which includes writing, grammar, and spelling, is taught using a rigorous Christian-based curriculum. ELCA math standards are taught using a variety of resources focusing on basic math skills along with problem-solving skills and strategies. Bible is taught daily, and students attend chapel once a week. History and science complete the well-rounded academic program.
