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

The ELCA IMPACT Fund is a vital source of unrestricted income that supports key programs and initiatives across our campus. Every gift to IMPACT directly benefits our students, faculty, and staff by meeting immediate needs and advancing the mission of ELCA. From academics to the arts, athletics to innovation, IMPACT strengthens every aspect of the ELCA experience. IMPACT helps to set us apart from other independent schools—and empowers our students to IMPACT the world! What does IMPACT do? IMPACT helps move ELCA from a great school to a World-Class school — your support is what makes ELCA exceptional. Your generosity helps provide: Excellent academics Low student-to-teacher ratios Focused support for non-traditional learners Top-tier Fine Arts and Athletics High-quality professional development for faculty & staff Innovative STEAM and AI programming IMPACT also allows you to give to Families Helping Families which supports families who desire for their students to have an excellent, gospel-centered educational experience, but also need some financial support. IMPACT helps preserve and promote our unapologetically Christian foundation. It supports ELCA’s day-to-day operations as well as long-term goals, enriching every student’s journey. Does IMPACT fund construction or building projects? No. The IMPACT Fund does not support new construction or renovation projects such as buildings, athletic fields, or playgrounds. Isn’t tuition enough to cover school expenses? Tuition covers a large portion of the ELCA experience—but not all of it. IMPACT bridges the shortfall between tuition and the full cost of providing an exceptional, Christ-centered education. Your support ensures that every student has access to the resources and opportunities that make ELCA unique. Can I choose where my gift goes? While we recognize that you might have a passion for certain specific areas of ELCA, the giving of unrestricted gifts allows us to meet the most urgent needs. In addition, at ELCA we desire to see all students meet Jesus, love Jesus, and follow Jesus, and IMPACT ensures this intentional effort as we help families who may need financial support with tuition. You can direct your gift to one of the following priority areas: Excellence (Where ELCA needs it most) Families Helping Families (Tuition support for families in need) If I can only give a small amount, does it really make a difference? Yes, it absolutely does! Every gift, no matter the size, makes an IMPACT. Your participation demonstrates your commitment to our mission, and also helps strengthen ELCA’s case when seeking grants and corporate support. When we all give, the IMPACT is powerful!
