Our History

Founded in 1973, ECA is an international Christian school offering a quality education from 1st grade through 12th grade to students of Christian workers as well as to international and national students. By 1978, the student body numbered thirty in the elementary and six in junior high. The high school used correspondence courses and had ten students. During the nineties, ECA continued to provide educational and spiritual training for its students. AP programs were added to the curriculum during these years. The National Honor Society and the Student Councils continued to provide school services. Each year, new clubs led by various teachers were added to the program. Concerts, field trips, and special classroom events continue to enrich the students’ lives. During these years, the dream for a new facility was born, fundraising began, and in 1995 the school purchased land in Camarma for the construction of a new building. After several years of construction, our new facility was inaugurated June 8, 2002, just in time for graduation. ECA received its accreditation in 2009 through the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and Middle States. In the fall of 2018, ECA was also recognized by the Spanish government as an American school on foreign soil in Spain and was granted its official school number. Looking back, we can clearly see the hand of God upon this school, and we rejoice in the multiple blessings He has brought through the many people who have interacted within her walls. We are confident that in the years to come the Lord will continue to use ECA to be a blessing to many, including the community of Camarma. To God be the glory!
