Deposits of Kindness

I enjoy bringing all the faculty and staff of ECA together once a month for an “All Hands” Meeting (I can’t help but use some Navy lingo). While together, I teach on some topic, then allow time for splitting into small groups to...

Education by the Word

On a recent visit to our Kindergarten, I was impressed with a roomful of happy and well-ordered students. I especially enjoyed a recitation of their many Bible verses. Their list of memory verses for the year includes 26 “alphabet” verses and about 30 more verses or...

Back in the Game

The recent campus closures due to the rash of illnesses was a very difficult, albeit necessary, measure. It was hard on our students for its impact on interactions and activities, on our parents for the changing of schedules, on our teachers for adjusting all their...

A Winning Team

It is nice to be on a winning team. As I type, I’m looking forward to our ECA volleyball match this Friday when I’ll have both of my daughters playing. And, we’ll be cheering for another win to add to their record. When I retired from the Navy in 2013, I entered a...

What’s Your Story?

I love stories. I especially love stories with complexity and texture, the kind that can only come from a good book. For it is the rich detail of a story that makes it more nuanced, more fascinating, more real. And as a parent and educator, I love how stories...

Seize Each Moment for Biblical Integration – Especially at Christmas

Helen and I are celebrating Christmas this year in a new and unusual way. Our children are grown and married, and we are enjoying special times with our three grandchildren when we are not quarantining. That is right, COVID-19 has thrown another wrinkle in our...

Being an Eagle

Being an Eagle

I am an ECA eagle, through and through. Evangelical Christian Academy has been a part of virtually every period of my life; I attended ECA, from preschool through the middle of my junior year, when we moved to California due to a job change for my dad. However, even...

Homeschooling

Homeschooling

I’m telling you right now: The education occurring at my house this quarter is not homeschooling. It’s also not classroom teaching. It’s not even a hybrid. This is an entirely new phenomenon (What isn’t these days?) that I’ve decided to call…  home-ECAing! This...

By Heather Morgan – Secretary, ECA Board of Directors Hello, ECA Family! Even as an introvert who gets energy from being alone, I am missing human interaction and SCHOOL! The struggle is so real that I might get a little wordy here, for which I apologize in advance....

 CARES Act

 CARES Act

Many who love ECA have been wondering whether or not we will apply for the CARES Act / Paycheck Protection Program Load from the Federal Government. This is a very good question.  ECA is very careful about borrowing. In fact, but the grace of God, we are debt free at...

Community

Community It looks different now. Community used to be our students being greeted by name each morning by Mrs. Blue as the entered the elementary campus, 7th and 8th graders eating lunch together – laughing, sharing, encouraging, ECA families and friends packing the...

Let the Little Children Come to Me

Let the Little Children Come to Me

But Jesus called them to him, saying, 'Let the children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.' Luke 18:16-17 I would like to welcome...
