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.

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.

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.

Dr. J. Keith Curlee, Head of School at Eagle's Landing Christian Academy, shares his excitement for the 2024-25 school year. ELCA is a gospel-centered, Kingdom-focused, college preparatory school committed to academic excellence and spiritual growth. With AP and dual-enrollment classes, the school nurtures students through a biblical lens. Partnered with Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church, ELCA aims to make disciples of Jesus Christ. MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL DR. KEITH CURLEE I am thrilled to be the head of school at Eagle's Landing Christian Academy. I am excited to see how God will continue to work among our students, parents, faculty, and staff during the 2025-26 school year. God has truly blessed our church and school community! Here at ELCA we desire to follow our mission statement which reads: Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy is a gospel-centered, Kingdom focused, college preparatory school that exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the glory of God. We live out this mission by making several commitments to our families and students: We are committed to a gospel-centered school. The word gospel means “good news”. Our students at ELCA will come to realize that God, the Father, sent his only Son, Jesus, to live a perfect life, and to die for all of mankind’s sins. But Jesus did not remain dead; He resurrected from the dead and desires for everyone, everywhere to come to know this truth and to put their faith and trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior. The hope we have in Jesus’ resurrection is truly good news. We are committed to being Kingdom focused. Scripture teaches us that this world we live in is not our home yet. God has placed us here to live in this world, but to not be of this world. We view the Bible as God’s Holy Word. In every aspect of school life, it is our sincere desire to point students to Christ. We offer Bible classes, worship opportunities in age-appropriate chapel services, but also teach each subject through the lens of Scripture. It is our aim to lead students to Christ, build them up in Christ, and equip them to serve Christ, which we call Kingdom Education. We are committed to being a college preparatory school. By offering multiple AP and dual-enrollment classes, we provide our students with academic excellence and a quality education. The majority of our graduates will be attending 4-year colleges and universities. We have excellent, certified, Christian teachers that lead our students each and every day. Our 87 graduates in the Class of 2025 were awarded close to $15 million in college scholarships. Recent graduates attend colleges and universities in various places including MIT, Georgia Tech, UGA, West Point, Duke, Truett-McConnell, Shorter University, and Kennesaw State to name a few. Lastly, we are a ministry of Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church, and both our church and school work hand-in-hand to make disciples for Jesus. Our goal is to use education so that our students become life-long followers of Christ!! Thank you for visiting our website. We hope that it is helpful in showing you who we are and what we are all about here at ELCA. Blessings! Dr. J. Keith Curlee Head of School GET TO KNOW DR. CURLEE

A foundational principle of Christian education is that all people are created in the image of God and there is a focused effort to strengthen our diverse culture by addressing criticial issues. CHRISTIAN SERVICE PROGRAM One of our core values at the school is “Service and Stewardship.” This is an integral part of the process of spiritual formation – to equip and empower students to use their gifts to make an impact at school and in the community.

ELCA STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES STAFF: Dr. Anna King , Director of Student Support Services Dr. Wanda Cowan, Learning Differences Coordinator/Consultant Miranda Mirocha , Executive Administrative Assistant Blakeley Bradley , GROW, STARS Dee Kirby , FACS Maggie Wynn , STARS Lisa Schuerman , Arrowsmith All ELCA teachers have, at a minimum, a bachelor's degree or higher. Tuition processes for students enrolled in Student Support Services remains the same as for regular tuition (see https://www.elcaonline.org/facts .) "Eagle's Landing Christian Academy has raised the standards by which all other Christian schools should be measured with regard to students with learning challenges such as dyslexia." -Robert Langston Author, Motivational Speaker and Consultant CEO, The Dyslexia Educational Network, Inc. MERIT ACCOMMODATIONS MERIT CLASSES MERIT STARS In grades 3 through 5, MERIT features an opportunity for students to receive assistance in the area of reading. FACS (Fluency and Comprehension Skills) is a small reading class setting offered to students who are struggling with reading processes within the classroom. All work is on grade level and aligned with ELCA standards. The goal of the program is to assist students in becoming proficient readers who have a comprehensive understanding of what they read in all subject areas. Low student/teacher ratios help with individualizing instruction for each student based on their needs with an average 7:1 ratio in FACS. FACS / Student Support Educator: Dee Kirby MERIT provides classes within the department for middle and high school students in the areas of math, science, history, language arts, and foreign language. Enrollment is limited by space and requires a diagnosis or a teacher recommendation. All of the work is taught on grade level with academically rigorous curricula aligned with the scope and sequences of ELCA’s traditional classes. These courses are crafted with embedded accommodations designed to ultimately help the student be successful after MERIT. With a low student to teacher to ratio (10:1 average), teachers provide focused attention and alternate methods of teaching that are more conducive to non-traditional learners. One successful tenet of MERIT classes is the incorporation of application based projects to connect subject matter to real world experience. Director of Student Support Services: Dr. Anna King 10 MYTHS ABOUT MERIT SUCCESS IN MERIT CLASSES Qualifications for receiving Student Support Services within the MERIT Program: A student must be identified through a multi-faceted evaluation as having a learning difference in the area(s) of reading, written expression, math computation, problem solving, receptive or expressive language. Other areas of learning difference may include, but not limited to, organizational skills, attention problems, hyperactivity, spatial organization, sensory integration, speech and language, processing, social, and fine or gross motor skills. The student must continue to function within the curriculum requirements for his/her grade level. There is no specialized instruction. MERIT personnel will assist the identified student in becoming an active and competent learner in the classroom in the following ways: MERIT personnel will work in conjunction with the student’s classroom teachers to develop a learning profile on each student. MERIT personnel will develop an intervention plan that compliments the student’s learning profile and outlines the specific interventions that will be made for the student. MERIT personnel will communicate regularly with classroom teachers to discuss the student’s progress and continuous needs. MERIT personnel will submit regular progress updates to parents. MERIT personnel will schedule parent meetings at the beginning of each semester. A mid-semester meeting may be held if deemed necessary by parents, teachers, or M.E.R.I.T. personnel. MERIT personnel will coordinate and assist with multi-faceted evaluations provided privately or through local school districts. MERIT personnel will attend I.E.P. meetings at public schools. MERIT personnel will collaborate with the school nurse regarding medication issues or concerns as necessary. The MERIT Program will offer indirect support, direct support, or complete support to each student. Parents will select the option that best meets their child’s needs. Executive Administrative Assistant: Miranda Mirocha MERIT FACS The STARS program (Strategies Targeted at Reading Success) supplies enrichment for kindergarten through second grade readers using the Orton-Gillingham approach as its foundation. This highly structured program introduces the idea of breaking reading and spelling down into smaller skills involving letters and sounds, and then building on these skills over time. Students are involved in multi-sensory activities throughout this class to help strengthen phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary development, fluency and comprehension. Students use sight, hearing, touch and movement to connect language with letters and words. Low student/teacher ratios help with individualizing instruction for each student based on their needs with an average 5:1 ratio for the STARS program. STARS / Student Support Educator: Maggie Wynn Blakely Bradley MERIT GROW In grades 3 through 5, MERIT features an opportunity for students to receive assistance in the area of math. GROW (Grasping Reasoning Operations and Whole Numbers) assists students on improving number sense, algebraic thinking, data and measurement, and fractions. All work is on grade level and aligned with ELCA standards. Students have embedded review and added time for practice, in conjunction with the ELCA curriculum and another tech platform. In addition, students are given multi-layered help: visual, kinesthetic, auditory, and other hands on experiences. Low student/teacher ratios help with individualizing instruction for each student based on their needs with an average 7:1 ratio in GROW. GROW / Student Support Educators: Blakeley Bradley Angie Stitt MERIT ARROWSMITH The Arrowsmith Program is offered world-wide and ELCA is the only school offering the Arrowsmith Program in the state. Georgia is one of only 25 states where it is hosted. The Arrowsmith Program is based on the philosophy that it is possible to address specific learning difficulties by identifying and strengthening cognitive capacities. Third grade through middle school students may begin this program. Arrowsmith targets the root causes of learning differences through individualized student programming. Upon completion of Arrowsmith, the student will need little to no accommodations in the classroom. Arrowsmith is based upon innovative neuroscience research supporting that it is possible to improve cognitive function. Arrowsmith is a community, and our aim is that our students will: strengthen their cognitive capacities underlying their learning difficulties advance in the desire to become life-long, self-motivated learners develop and maintain confidence and a sense of their self-worth The cognitive program addresses learning differences including: Reading Writing Mathematics Comprehension Logical Reasoning Executive Function Visual Memory Auditory Memory Dyslexia Non-Verbal Learning Auditory Processing Attention One parent describes this program as life-changing. “My son graduated from the Arrowsmith program two years ago. When he entered the program in the 6th grade, he had a lack of confidence and faced many academic challenges. Arrowsmith has been an answer to prayer for our son. He is now a very confident 11th grader and is maintaining an A average. The Arrowsmith Program has opened up doors of opportunity for our son and given him a beautiful gift...unlimited possibilities for his future. We will forever be grateful for the Arrowsmith Program.” Arrowsmith / Student Support Educator : Lisa Schuerman ARROWSMITH WEBSITE MERIT SPEECH & TUTORING SPEECH and TUTORING We are fortunate to have a private speech therapist on staff who offers on-site speech evaluations and in-person speech therapy. Jordyn Montique is part of our Student Support Services team and provides free speech screenings to assess a range of communication skills including articulation, language, and fluency to determine if a full evaluation is needed.
