Evangelical Christian Academy began in 1973 with one teacher, Miss Nancy Towle, and a head during the first year, meeting in a Canillejas, Madrid building. The school served kindergarten through eighth grade in its early years and later expanded to include a high school. Fundraising led to land purchase in Camarma, and the new facility was inaugurated on June 8, 2002. ECA earned accreditation in 2009 from the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and the Middle States Association (MSA). In fall 2018, the Spanish government recognized ECA as an American school on foreign soil with an official school number, and in spring 2023 the school celebrated its 50th anniversary with events including a tapas ceremony.
Service is a core value at ECA and the school emphasizes being service-driven. High-school students complete twenty hours of community service each year. In 2016, ECA started Flipped Service Days, finishing chapel two hours early to participate in service projects chosen by students. The Service Days page includes images of past and current service projects.
