Private Boarding School in Madrid

Evangelical Christian Academy, Madrid:
Evangelical Christian Academy is a day and boarding school situated in Camarma de Esteruelas, 35 km northeast of Madrid, Spain. The school exists to serve primarily missionary families by equipping students in the academic disciplines, challenging them to love and care for others. What began in 1973 with one teacher and handful of students in downtown Madrid has now grown into a vibrant, Christian school that serves nearly one hundred students in grades one through twelve. Evangelical Christian Academy exists to serve missionary families by equipping students in the academic disciplines. The vision drives every facet of ECA's existence. ECA offers a challenging, college preparatory curriculum in an American-based system. Students at ECA study Bible each year, and a Christian worldview is integrated into every aspect of the curriculum. We are currently undergoing accreditation by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).

We are on track to complete full accreditation with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). ACSI is recognized worldwide as an accrediting agency for Christian schools and often works in cooperation with Mid-States Accrediting Association, having similar academic requirements with additional requirements pertaining to a biblical perspective. Although this process is not yet complete, it does not in any way limit the options for current students nor adversely affect the quality of our educational program.

In our more than 30 years of existence, we have never had a graduate whose diploma was rejected by a college or university in the United States. On the contrary, our graduates have gone on to schools of their choice, such as Oxford, Wheaton, Annapolis, Asbury, Moody, Purdue, Georgia Tech, Bob Jones, Cedarville, Liberty, Carson Newman, Covenant, etc.

Leadership Training at ECA:
Goals of Leadership Training at ECA:

1. Continued integration of leadership concepts within the student body and school community
2. Expansion to include other students interested in leadership development
3. Training students to teach other students in a “safe environment”
4. Training of next year’s leadership team (with the option for 5 students to attend SLC in Budapest in October)


Leadership is primarily INFLUENCE: "Others have impacted my life based on their relationship with me, so I want to develop relationships with others that will impact them for Christ."

1. Spiritual formation gives the leader authority - what to say
2. Skills formation gives the leader capacity - how to say it
3. Strategic formation gives the leader longevity - when to say it
