History

ECA was founded by Karen Benson in 2000 with a passion to provide her children with a Christian education. What began with seven students has grown to serve approximately 270 students and their families, with the greatest measure of success seen in lives impacted for Christ. As a mission school, ECA serves many unchurched families and has witnessed students sharing their faith at home, while staff regularly pray with and support families through challenges.

    Fulfill the Great Commission

    Through their attendance at ECA, students should be prepared to share their faith in an effort to fulfill the Great Commission.

Affordable Tuition

ECA has one of the lowest tuition rates of Christian schools in Arizona. We are funded solely through tuition and welcome the support of donor-stewards who believe in the impact of Christian education. Many of our families pursue and are successful in obtaining Arizona State Tax Credit Scholarships that are available to our students. Currently Arizona School Choice (ESA) provides funds for Arizona families to attend private schools and will cover the tuition at Emmanuel Christian Academy.
