ELL stands for English-Language Learners. ELL supports non-native English speakers in all grade levels and is tailored to each student's language needs; in ECA, ELL students include speakers of Korean, Spanish, and German. The program is transitional, focusing on academic vocabulary and composition to bring students up to grade level. The elementary program includes Spanish as a 'special' class (music, art, PE, Spanish, technology). In high school, foreign language is offered as part of the curriculum.
Evangelical Christian Academy (ECA) is a Christian K-12 international school located in Camarma de Esteruelas, Madrid, Spain. It offers an American-based college-preparatory curriculum, including Honors and AP courses in the high school, with Bible study and a Christian worldview integrated into every subject. The school serves students ages 5 through 18 across elementary, middle, and high school, and provides ESL/ELL support for non-native speakers. Core subjects are complemented by electives such as music, art, physical education, Spanish, and technology; high school electives include choir, musical theatre, personal finance, art, drama, and woodworking. Graduation requires 23 credits for grades 9–12 and at least 20 hours of annual community service. On campus, a weather-protected sports court and a library support athletics and study, while classrooms enable Bible-based, American-style instruction. ECA earned accreditation from ACSI and MSA, and was recognized by the Spanish government as an American school on foreign soil in 2018.
