Barnes Edd Tucker 10.6.1942 - 1.4.2023 A life well-lived... "...those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever." ~Daniel 12:3 MEMORIAL SERVICE Friday, January 20 Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church Visitation: 12:15PM-1:15PM • Main Foyer Service: 1:30PM • Worship Center Livestream: http://elcalive.eagleslanding.com Submit Video Condolences and/or photos Bless the Tucker family with a donation in lieu of flowers ••• Mr. Tucker was the epitome of a cheerful giver. Since Marlene and the family are coming from all around the country, they will not be able to receive plants and flowers. In lieu of flowers, please consider blessing the family via the link below . "It has been on my heart to find a way to bless Marlene and the Tucker family, following the passing of our friend, Edd Tucker. It was a surprise to all of us, but not to Jesus, who called him to heaven on January 4. Mr. T was one-of-a-kind. He made everyone feel loved and special. If you knew him, you loved him. There is no better way to honor the memory of Edd Tucker than by loving on his family. It is a privilege to share our love with a gift to Marlene. Thank you in advance for blessing Marlene and the Tucker family with your love and prayers. Please feel free to visit and share this link ❤️". ~Danette Hylkema Patrick ••• GRASPING THE BATON "As I look out the window today, I see the promise of fall. October came in like summer, and she did not hand over the baton to the new season. However, as a believer, I know God decides when to pass the baton to a new season, a new chapter, a new opportunity, or a new beginning. Our Father controls all seasons, even the seasons of our lives. "I have been thinking for several months about this new season ahead for me and my wife, Marlene. We are getting older, but still full of energy. We are certainly in the fall season of our lives which may quickly turn into winter! The Lord has the plan before us. We are trusting Him for this next season of life. "A year from now, our lives will be quite different. Marlene and I will be officially retired in Austin, Texas. I won’t be getting up early to unlock classroom doors and pray for each student and teacher. I may not physically be walking the halls of ELCA, but my prayers will continue. It has been hard for me to hand over the baton of this season of life. I feel a great connection to the families, teachers and staff of our great school. I know and trust that Marlene and I will have many opportunities to volunteer, encourage, pray, and love those the Lord places in our path, just as He has here at ELCA. "In the months ahead, I pray that I will display, every day, the beautiful colors of fall in my smile, my daily commitment to Christ, my words, and my fervent prayers. I want to savor the moment, pursue peace, rejoice in God’s creation, passionately love others, especially those hurting in the world. I pray that I will learn contentment in this new season. I pray that I will open my eyes to October and see the beauty in this world. The colors should be breathtaking!" ~ELCA Blog entry by Mr. Tucker, 10/16/2019 Dear ELCA Students, Families, and Alumni, It is with saddened hearts that we bid farewell to our beloved Mr. Tucker. Mr. Edd Tucker was the elementary principal at ELCA from 1997 through 2020. Through his incredible span of 50 years in Christian education, Mr. Tucker's influence touched thousands of lives. He is remembered as a faithful servant-leader who honored his Lord and Savior with his service for others. Mr. Tucker was very tender-hearted and was easily moved to tears when speaking of the privileges of teaching and guiding the lives of children. He was a prayer warrior for his faculty, staff, and the entire ELCA family. Mr. Tucker and his wife, Marlene, were married for more than 56 years and served together in Christian education for over four decades. He is also survived by his son, Darren (Kim), daughter Dana (Brad), and seven grandchildren. ••• Mr. Tucker's impact is far-reaching and many have asked how best to pay respects to the Tucker family. If you would like to share a memory of Mr. Tucker or describe how he impacted your life; we are asking that you record your account on video. Photo submissions are also appreciated. Some of these videos will be shared at the memorial service for Mr. Tucker which will take place at Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church/ELCA on Friday, January 20 at 1:30PM . If we are not able to include your video in the memorial service, it will still be shared with the Tucker family.

We invite you to visit our campus to experience what makes Eagle's Landing Christian Academy unique, and to explore how we can partner with you as your child gains understanding of their unique role in God’s plan. CORE VALUES The Bible and The Church – ELCA believes that all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for reproof, correction, instruction, and righteousness. The Church has been and always will be God’s instrument to fulfill His purposes here on earth. (II Timothy 3:16, Acts 2:42-47) The Family – ELCA supports parents and guardians in their biblical responsibility to nurture and to train their children to realize their God-given potential so they may live lives that glorify God. (Ephesians 6:1-4, Proverbs 22:6) Academic Excellence - ELCA teachers and students are called to academic excellence through the teaching and learning of 21st Century skills to cultivate life-long learning. (Colossians 3:23, 1 Corinthians 10:31, Luke 2:52) Service and Stewardship - ELCA embodies a culture where students are encouraged to utilize their God-given talents to serve others. (Matthew 20:26-28, Luke 12:35) STUDENT/TEACHER RATIOS Experience the difference of small class sizes where every child feels seen, supported, and celebrated. Eagle's Landing Christian Academy maintains low student to teacher ratios as follows: Cognia (formerly AdvancED) is the largest education improvement organization in the world. Their 125-year history of success is built on expertise in accreditation and certification, assessment, professional learning and improvement solutions. Accreditations Cognia (formerly AdvancED) Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) Memberships National Alliance of Christian Schools Georgia High School Association College Board Georgia Independent School Association.

We invite you to visit our campus to experience what makes Eagle's Landing Christian Academy unique, and to explore how we can partner with you as your child gains understanding of their unique role in God’s plan. Eagle's Landing Christian Academy is located on an 86-acre campus twenty-five miles south of Atlanta. We offer a well-rounded, biblically based academic program for children grades K-3 through 12. We strive to prepare students to progress year by year into learners who are capable of succeeding in a rigorous academic setting, taking advantage of Honors and AP courses. This is achieved through an alignment of curriculum and face-to-face, intentional collaboration with teachers. The end result are students who enter college at higher-than-freshman status and who are capable of success in any path the Lord has for his or her future. ELCA is on the forefront of Christian education in providing diverse learning environments for all learners. One such area in our school is our MERIT program (Multi-faceted Educational Resources and Instructional Technologies), which falls under our Student Support Services program. It is through this cutting-edge program that we are able to provide college-prep curriculum to students who are not as successful in a traditional style classroom. These students are able to be in a conducive learning environment in which they thrive and are highly successful. We are accredited by both Cognia and ACSI. In addition, we are a member of the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) Region 2 Class AAAA, the National Alliance of Christian Schools, The College Board, and the Georgia Independent School Association.

We recognize that each situation is likely to be different and that this policy must be flexible while still providing an overall strategic direction. Common types of contagious diseases include: COVID-19, Flu (influenza), common cold, stomach viruses, and strep throat. Contagious diseases can spread by: Physical contact with an infected person, such as through touch or respiratory droplets. Contact with objects and other surfaces that an infected person has touched. When to keep your child home: We continue to encourage families and employees to self-monitor for signs and symptoms of illness before arriving on campus. Students should feel well enough to participate in all activities while in school. If a student displays any of the following symptoms, we require that they stay home for the appropriate isolation period and at least 24 hours from last symptom and last dose of any fever-reducing medicine: Fever (100.0°F or above) or chills Persistent cough Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing New loss of taste or smell Nausea or vomiting Diarrhea Positive test result for COVID-19, Flu, or Strep throat Prevention: Hand Hygiene: Keeping hands clean is one of the best ways to keep from getting sick and spreading illnesses. Practicing good hand hygiene gets rid of bacteria and viruses from contact with other people or surfaces. The school promotes proper hand hygiene throughout the school day. The school ensures that an adequate supply of hand sanitizer, hand soap, and paper towels is available in all classrooms. Face Masks: Face masks are optional except as required for persons who have been in close contact with a COVID-19 case outside of school. Vaccines: The CDC encourages everyone to get vaccinated against communicable diseases as advised by their healthcare provider. Cleaning: Our maintenance staff will continue to disinfect frequently touched surfaces with EPA approved products. Hand sanitizer is available in all classrooms and throughout the building.

PreK students eat lunch in their respective classrooms. Hand sanitizer is available, and tables are cleaned and disinfected after each use. For questions, or to report any communicable illness, please contact our nurse, Katie Cool, at katie.cool@eagleslanding.org or by phone directly at 678-818-1061. HELPFUL INFORMATION If your child needs to take medication while at school: 1. Complete the authorization form and fax or bring completed copy to the Clinic. 2. Please keep prescription medications and/or over-the-counter medications in the original container. Your pharmacy can usually place a prescription in 2 labeled containers, 1 for school and 1 for home use. 3. For children with severe allergies, please have your doctor complete an allergy action plan and send a copy to the Clinic. Automated external defibrillators (AED): There are 3 AEDs located on the ELCA campus. One is located on the wall near the nurse's station, another is on the wall in the hallway between the worship center and the choral suite and there is one in the Athletic Trainer's office. The school nurse is responsible for checking the batteries in these units monthly. Our goal is to help keep students and staff healthy and to take measures needed to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus as it makes its way onto campus. Our plan is designed to help us be proactive in our response to COVID-19 and to help us return to campus safely. It is meant to be practical, flexible, and includes reliable guidelines and recommendations. Home Screenings: It is important that everyone in our school work together with open communication and flexibility so that we can provide the best level of safety and health for all of our students and staff. Checking your students for symptoms before bringing them to school is one of the best ways to help keep our campus healthy. When your student wakes up not feeling well, it is best to be safe and keep them at home. Medications: Students should not carry medications with them while at school. Students that are in middle or high school may carry life-saving medications with them (Epi-pens, inhalers) only if parents sign the Authorization to Carry EpiPen or the Authorization to Carry inhaler and turn it in to the clinic. All other prescription medication will be kept in the clinic and require an Authorization Form to be administered as needed. EMERGENCY DRILLS AND INCLEMENT WEATHER PROCEDURES Periodic fire, tornado and lockdown drills are required by state law. An evacuation route and procedures are posted in each classroom.

"What does diversity mean to you? How do you celebrate diversity?" UNITY ELCA strives to nurture a unified community of God-centered individuals who are known and valued for whom God distinctly created them to be. We recognize and respect our cultural differences and unique abilities, rejoice in our similarities, and love ALL individuals as image-bearers of God. Students at ELCA have the privilege of growing up in a richly diverse student population. As you walk our halls, you get a sense of what Heaven will be like as you see students who come from many different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. In a focused effort to strengthen our diverse culture, we have established a Unity Council to discuss critical issues within our school. The council consists of parents, staff members, and students who meet on a regular basis to discuss ongoing issues and create strategies for future improvement. Our foundational principle is that all people are created in the image of God. As image-bearers, we all have great value in the eyes of the Creator and thus we should treat those who are different than us with that mindset. The word GRACE describes our focus on diversity within the school... G - gender R - race A - age and ability C - culture E - education All of these groups are represented within our school and are recognized within God's word. Our goal is to teach our students that God has created us in His image and for His glory. As students begin to grasp that concept, they are able to respond to one another in a truly Biblical way. Unity Council Members: Ana Corales (co-President) Christopher Craddock (co-President) Gracie Rivers (co-Vice President) Farah Bonds (co-Vice President) Abigail Hernandez Abigail Damaso Alexa Blackburn Anthony Labady Austin Ha Avery Greenich Brayden Cason Gabrielle Mitchell Jethro Jones Jiya Patel Kayla Baptiste London Duval Rylee Collier Student Testimonies: From my years being involved in the Unity Board, I have learned not only how to embrace unity and diversity within the school, but also the many key aspects that go into how to embrace it. Meeting new people from all backgrounds and being able to speak the gospel freely, as well as just telling others that they matter in Christ has been a wonderful privilege. Culture is a beautiful thing, and everybody should have the chance and accessibility to learn and grow in their heritage. God created all of us equally, so who’s to say we don’t all deserve a chance to highlight our heritage? Even with the quantity of culture in today’s world, God still has a place and love for all of them; Which I love seeing in our school! - Gracie Rivers, Class of 2027 In a world where community is necessary for growth, being a part of the Unity Council has provided the means for me to gain said body. The Council gives me the opportunity to understand others and celebrate the beauty in differences and uniqueness among people. God has created each of us in our own ways, and we get to explore that in Unity. I see this as not only a way to connect people, but also grow awareness of culture and identity. The idea of learning about our differences sparks something within me, and reminds me to embrace the diversity God created us with. Culture plays such a crucial role in shaping who we are and how we go about our faith. However, what amazes me is that though we were made with different cultures or backgrounds, we still were created in His image. That truth is what stands with me everyday. That truth is the foundation of my faith. Through this council, there's a space to honor and learn from what makes us us. With this, we can reflect on God's perfect design and beautiful creation. - Farah Bonds, Class of 2027 Inquire Ethnic Unity Council IMAGE BEARERS...all people are created in the image of God.

ELCA's MERIT Program assists identified students in becoming active and competent learners in the classroom. STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES THE MERIT PROGRAM GENERAL INFORMATION MERIT ACCOMMODATIONS MERIT CLASSES MERIT: STARS MERIT: FACS MERIT: GROW MERIT: ARROWSMITH MERIT: SPEECH & TUTORING The MERIT Program (Multi-faceted Educational Resources and Instructional Technology) provides assistance to our students who learn differently. The MERIT Program will assist identified students in becoming active and competent learners in the classroom. Please note that these are not tutorial services. Students may or may not need to receive additional tutorial assistance outside of the MERIT Program to help them with the classroom curricula. Students will not receive specialized instruction and are expected to function within the demands of ELCA’s curriculum on their grade level. Students receiving services will be billed the appropriate fees. If there is not a copy of a current evaluation in the student’s file, please provide us with this information. Services will not be provided until all records and evaluations are reviewed and Student Support Services determines the student’s eligibility for the program. We look forward to ministering to your child and assisting them in experiencing success in the classroom. Please be assured that assisting and equipping our students for success in the classroom and in the world for Christ continues to be our primary desire. Thank you for entrusting your child to us and for your continued commitment to their academic and spiritual growth. 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. Please reach out to either Jordyn Montique at hello@raynetherapy.com or Dr. Anna King at anna.king@eagleslanding.org for more information.

Students at Eagle's Landing Christian Academy enjoy the privilege of a richly diverse student population. 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. SPIRITUAL LIFE "Bridging the Gap" Spiritual Growth ELCA strives to provide a Christ-centered program through its atmosphere, curriculum, and staff. However, ELCA’s efforts are not a substitute for personal, spiritual growth. We strongly encourage each family member to strengthen his/her personal faith through the study of God’s Word (the Bible), active involvement in a Bible-teaching church, and prayer. Emphasis for Spiritual Formation ELCA’s plan for spiritual formation and development focuses on 4 distinct anchors. We seek to ENGAGE students with the gospel of Jesus Christ, EQUIP them through spiritual formation and Christ-centered worldview, EMPOWER them to serve as ambassadors for Christ, and ENCOURAGE them to remain faithful and steadfast here and for years to come! These anchors are grounded in a Christ-centered, Bible-based, foundation. Vision for Spiritual Formation For our students to know Jesus, be transformed by His work on the cross, and to be given opportunities to grow through discipleship, stewardship, and service. The Foundation of the Bible The Bible is God’s Word to us. It is the most important book at ELCA. It leads, guides, and informs the mission of the school. In all areas of school life, God’s Word is useful teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that our students are prepared for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17). All classes are taught through a Biblical worldview. Every student is expected to have his/her Bible at school every day. Chapel Chapel is a time for celebration of praise and worship of Jesus Christ. Chapel is a regular part of school life at ELCA, and every student is required to attend the service every week. Middle School and High School students are expected to bring their Bible to chapel. Correct posture in chapel is very important as well as respect for the program and speaker. Students who continue to be disrespectful during chapel may be subject to disciplinary measures. Spiritual Life Initiatives ELCA seeks to fulfill its plan for spiritual formation through the following spiritual life initiatives: Daily Bible class, Accountability Groups and Community Time, Student Leadership Development, Chapel Program, Generational Mentoring, Bible Studies, Missional Opportunities for Stewardship and Service, Equipping and Supporting Families, and Training and Developing Staff. All spiritual life initiatives are implemented in partnership with Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church. Click HERE to learn more about ELFBC.

EAGLE'S LANDING CHRISTIAN ACADEMY MIDDLE SCHOOL SCHOOL CULTURE DISTINCTIVES HIGH SCHOOL PREP CAMPUS SAFETY MIDDLE SCHOOL HOUSES “Middle school years are hard years - years full of mistakes, learning, and growth. ELCA has given us an environment that offers a tremendous balance of accountability and grace; one that walks alongside my girls, reinforcing what we value as a family — a gospel-centered worldview. I have never questioned their physical or emotional safety with teachers and administration. Everyone has given them the space to grow as a person, become independent and figure out what God has uniquely created them to do.” -Heather, ELCA Parent Why do parents choose ELCA? Academic Rigor Our middle schoolers are challenged with a strong academic program designed to prepare them for high school, college, and beyond. They are continuously engaged in subjects taught from a biblical perspective, helping them gain knowledge in light of God's Word. Leadership Opportunities ELCA middle school students have several opportunities to sharpen their leadership skills. They can join the Student Government Association, and organizations such as the National Junior Beta Club. We also encourage them to take roles in weekly chapel services and daily prayer time. Enriched Learning Learning doesn't stop at the four walls of the classroom. Our middle schoolers enjoy a variety of enriching electives such as robotics, art , band, drama, and more. Clubs including chess, aviation, World Impact trips, marching band, and chorale will cultivate your child's inner passions.

In middle school, your child is building their identity. Their experiences start to shape how they see the world and how they navigate challenges, relationships, and interactions with peers and mentors. As a parent, you know that influences play a key part in these short and precious years. The love and knowledge of God is at the heart of ELCA's school culture. Our biblical worldview nurtures middle schoolers, so that they can grow in Christ-likeness. We promote an environment that encourages respect, understanding, and cooperation among our students, through: Differentiated Learning. Each child has their unique learning style and strengths. We value such differences by having small class sizes and teachers who are intentional about discovering our students' learning pace and areas of interest. Our MERIT Program supports students with diagnosed learning differences with resources that build success in the classroom. C hara ct er Development. The Bible is at the core of our teachings. Our curriculum is deeply embedded with God-centered principles, helping middle schoolers to understand the heart and mind of Christ. We strive to inspire our students' character through the lessons they learn. Open Communication. We honor our students' thoughts and concerns. Should your child need one-on-one time to talk, we have a dedicated counselor who is available to listen. As a learning community, we also discuss topics about showing respect and compassion to others. Partnering with Parents. We encourage parents to volunteer, share their thoughts, and be involved in their child's development. We believe that middle schoolers can make strides in their progress when we collaborate with parents like you. The middle school transition can be challenging. But it doesn’t have to be. See how we can help. Schedule a Visit There's no greater feeling than knowing that your child is confident and ready to step into their future plans. At ELCA, we place a strong emphasis on preparing our middle schoolers for the opportunities that await them in high school, college, and life. Executive Function Training As fundamental components of our program, students learn time management, staying organized, focusing on the right tasks, and prioritizing goals. These executive function skills can help your child thrive as responsibilities and pace increase in high school. Stimulating Subjects and Specials Middle schoolers also have the opportunity to take honors math and English classes. For specials, all students engage in a fine arts class of their choice, allowing them to express their creativity and refine their craft. Maximizing Potential Our committed teachers set high, but realistic expectations for students. We believe in recognizing each student's strengths, and working with them to become the best versions of themselves. We offer leadership seminars and spiritual retreats — unique ways for pre-teens to be mentored in their academic and spiritual growth. Class Schedules Our students follow a balanced but structured schedule with breaks built into the day. The 7:55 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. school day is designed to give adequate instructional time for every subject, making sure that all topics are covered for the day.
