In the years between 1970 and 1994, the Academy operated as Meadow Creek Academy and Greater Atlanta Christian School -- Meadow Creek Campus. THE HISTORY OF EAGLE'S LANDING CHRISTIAN ACADEMY TUITION INFORMATION SCHEDULE A TOUR THE ELCA ADVANTAGE Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy has its roots in the founding of McDonough Christian Academy in 1970. In 1994, the Academy became a ministry of Eagle’s Landing First Baptist Church. In the years between 1970 and 1994, the Academy operated as Meadow Creek Academy and Greater Atlanta Christian School -- Meadow Creek Campus. Since 1994, the academy has experienced its strongest growth. ELCA opened its doors in 1994 with 170 students and grew to 593 students by 1999. During this season of growth, both the church and school decided to sell their existing properties and relocate on the current 86-acre campus. Since 1994, the Academy has: Moved to a new 86 acre campus on Highway 42 North (2000). Expanded high school wing, and added football field and stadium, field house, and other athletic fields (2002). Added a state-of-the-art playground facility with a basketball court, a gated play area with artificial turf, and a special area designated for preschool that includes a tricycle track (2006). Completed multi-level 63,500-square-foot Activity Center which includes a gymnasium, weight room, Chapel and wrestling room (2006). Expanded Middle School and High School classrooms Added Middle School and High School Collaboratory (2019) Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy invites you to visit our campus and allow us to show you how we are partnering with parents and the local church to prepare students for a life as a Christian leader. We pray that our students will choose Christian character before career, wisdom beyond scholarship, and service before self. ELCA is committed to excellence in all areas, spiritually, academically, aesthetically, athletically, and socially.
- Jeans for Missions | Eagle's Landing Christian Academy | McDonough, GA
Each Friday of the school year, ELCA students have the opportunity to unite with missionaries around the world to share the hope of Jesus Christ. Giving one dollar per week makes a difference in the lives of others and wearing jeans is an outward sign that you are a partner in these ministries. A THANK YOU FROM COVONE MINISTRIES Covone Ministries (Phil and Jami Covone and volunteers) thanks ELCA for their prayers and faithful financial support in helping take the gospel to the people of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The people living in the rural areas of Mexico have very little resource for the gospel. Their traditional religion has them worshiping images and legends that aren't real, and working for salvation as a chance to go to heaven for eternity. This video was made at La Polvora ranch an hour and a half outside the capital city of San Luis Potosi. The people in this desert area have no running water, so they depend on rainwater for washing and watering. Most homes are made of adobe, which decays rapidly, and most have dirt floors. Work is scarce, but many people have goats and sheep that they raise for income. Covone Ministries holds two Bible studies each Friday at La Polvora. Since most people don't have a vehicle, they walk a long way to participate in the Bible study. If you'd like more info about Covone Ministries in Mexico, or want to see pictures and read stories from the mission field, you can find us at www.covoneministries.com . JEANS FOR MISSIONS FRIDAYS ARE PERFECT FOR JEANS! Each Friday of the school year, students have the opportunity to unite with missionaries around the world to share the hope of Jesus Christ. Your donation makes a difference in the lives of others and wearing jeans is an outward sign that you are a partner in these ministries. Have you ever wondered where the money goes? WHO WE SERVE Through Jeans for Missions, ELCA provides monthly support toward ministries such as: Covone Ministry | Mexico Helping In His Name Ministries | Henry County Fellowship of Christian Athletes | Northern Colorado Graced Team | Sierra Leone Teach Beyond | Hungary Morningside Baptist Church | Atlanta Jamaica Mission Partnership | Jamaica DONATE Donations to Jeans for Missions is billed to your student's account at the beginning of the school year as a one-time sum of $37 per year ($1 for each Friday of the school year).

The College Placement and Guidance Office at ELCA strives to provide parents and students information on college resources and to help students stay organized in the college planning process. We embrace the philosophy that a team approach is essential to reach a successful end. Here you will find resources for testing, college planning and admissions, and financial aid. Parents can be active participants in the college exploration and application process. You should visit campuses with your child and participate in programs offered by admission offices. Other ways to be involved are: making certain your child has been thorough in his/her search; reviewing the admission and financial aid applications and offering guidance in their completion; making certain that tasks get completed and forms are submitted on time; being the support and counselor when decisions are made. THE COLLEGE PLACEMENT AND GUIDANCE STAFF AIMS TO: Meet with students and parents to identify colleges of interest that complement the student’s academic, extracurricular, and spiritual desires. Write supportive letters of recommendation, where applicable, for student’s admission and scholarship applications. Review students' application and essay materials as requested. Process application materials including transcripts, counselor evaluations, teacher recommendations, and additional components for admission and scholarship applications. Inform students about upcoming college representative visits and college fairs. Guide students on the process of registering for college entrance exams and sending test scores to colleges. Provide students with test preparation resources. THE COLLEGE PLACEMENT AND GUIDANCE STAFF EXPECTS EACH STUDENT WILL: Be his/her own advocate by utilizing the resources in the College Placement and Guidance Office and by meeting with college representatives who host programs in the Henry County and Atlanta area and at ELCA. Stay in communication with the College Placement Office regarding class selection, the college search, testing opportunities, and application procedures. Take charge of his/her own application process by knowing application and scholarship requirements and deadlines and independently completing each part of the application. STANDARDIZED TESTING PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test) The PSAT is given in October to all students in grades 9 - 11. The test is used for practice for the SAT and Honors/AP level placement in the High School. ELCA registers all students for the test. PSAT score reports are normally returned after Christmas break. Going over the test – question by question – is a valuable way to improve SAT scores. Students who have questions about their score report should talk with the Academic Dean or Director of College Placement and Guidance. SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) and ACT (American College Test) Eagle's Landing Christian Academy school code for both the SAT and the ACT is 112046. SAT Reasoning Test Beginning with the winter/spring of the junior year, all students are strongly encouraged to take the SAT Reasoning test if their PSAT results indicate this is their best test. Dates for the test and registration information can be found on-line or in the College Placement and Guidance Office. ACT We encourage students to take the ACT if their PreACT results indicate this is their best test. The ACT is an achievement test measuring English, math, reading, and science skills. Some students naturally respond better to the nature of the questions on the ACT with more ease. Dates for tests and registration information can be found on-line or in the Director of College Placement and Guidance Office. AP Exams Students enrolled in Advanced Placement classes are required to sit for the final exam written by the college board. These tests begin the second week of May. The tests are scored on a scale of 1-5 with many colleges offering credit or advanced placement for scores of 3 or higher.

But like many parents, you might be wondering how enrolling at a private, Christian school will affect your family’s budget, or perhaps you’re not even sure if you can afford it. At Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy , we are committed to making high-quality, Christ-centered education accessible to as many families as possible. Affordability is an important concern, and we’re pleased to offer need-based financial aid , as well as other tuition discounts. $500,000 of financial aid offered annually to approximately 30% of the student body Tuition 2026-27 Click for tuition rates Year after year, we see how God provides for families who want to invest in Christian education but may not be able to afford the full tuition cost. We offer tuition assistance through tuition discounts and need-based financial aid. Discounts include: Multi-child discount: If you have multiple students attending ELCA, you will receive a discount. Full-payment discount: Available for families who pay the full tuition amount by June 1. Help us grow the ELCA family - and reap the rewards! The best way we continue to grow our gospel-centered community is through YOU! When you refer like-minded families to ELCA, you're helping us build a community of students and families who share our values. And as a thank you, each new student referral that enrolls comes with a $500 tuition credit for you! Want to learn more? Reach out to our Admissions Office at (678) 818-1072. Need-Based Financial Aid Families who need financial assistance should apply online through FACTS, a third-party tuition management system. The cost to apply is $45. FACTS confidentially evaluates each applicant’s unique financial situation by reviewing tax information and other documents. Financial assistance is offered on the basis of demonstrated financial need and is limited, so please apply as soon as possible. Financial Aid Guidelines Apply for Financial Aid Please note: An application for admission or updated registration information must be on file at ELCA in order to apply for financial aid.
