Can ELCA issue I-20 documents for international students?

Yes, ELCA is authorized to issue I-20 documents for international students accepted to our school, enabling them to apply for F-1 visas.   

 

What are the entrance requirements for international students?

To apply, international students must submit the following documents to our Admissions Office. All documents should be in English or translated:

• New Student Application 

• Proof of compliance with all immunizations currently required by the State of Georgia

• Middle and High School transcripts (translated to English)

• English Proficiency Test (not SLEP)

• Financial statement

• Two teacher reference letters

• Agency application, if applicable

Applicants will also participate in an interview (with parents/guardians) which may require a translator. Students should provide details of their living arrangements in the U.S., including contact information for the guardian(s) with whom they will reside.  

 

Does Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy provide ESL support?

ELCA requires international students to be proficient in English prior to admission, as we do not offer English as a Second Language (ESL) program. 

 

Are there housing options for international students?

ELCA does not provide dormitories. We ask that international students live with one or both parents, if possible. If parents cannot be in the U.S., students should reside with a close relative or other trusted adult. A notarized Power of Attorney is required for guardianship arrangements.

 

What curriculum does the school use?

ELCA offers a college-preparatory curriculum integrating a Biblical Worldview across all subjects, with courses designed for both average and advanced students. ELCA provides 30 AP and dual enrollment courses, Honors courses, and World Languages options. We are accredited by both the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).

 

Is transportation available?

Parents or guardians are responsible for transportation, although some families arrange carpools. ELCA also offers bus transportation between Conyers and the school for an additional fee.

School begins at 7:55 a.m. and ends at 3:15 p.m. Students may arrive as early as 7:30 a.m. and must be picked up by 3:30 p.m., unless participating in supervised extracurricular activities.
