Every student is a precious life, and every day is an opportunity to be more like Jesus

The vision

Effingham Christian Academy is dedicated to promoting the teachings and values of Jesus Christ while encouraging each student to cultivate a personal relationship with Him. Our goal is to ensure that every mind and heart is firmly anchored in His love. We do not aim for perfection; rather, we find comfort in the belief that, because His love embraces us all (Romans 5:8), we have the chance to strive to become more Christ-like.

“Our mission at Effingham Christian Academy is to provide a Christ-centered educational experience through the development of the total student- spiritually, academically, socially, and physically.”


One step at a time..

Although we are currently offering only Daycare and PRE-K service. The goal is to have a fully capable K-12 program over the next 6 years, with the same focus that we have today! In order to make this vision reality, we desire to partner with Christ believing parents who are looking to make Jesus the most invaluable component of our children’s lives.

This partnership requires Godly vision, intentional community effort, and cheerful resources. Please, consider partnering with us for your child’s future today!

Director of Advancement

As the Director of Advancement and a proud mother of two Sons who have been part of a Christian School from preschool on,I know how important the role of education is in the life of young minds. I am delighted to extend a heartfelt welcome to you.

Effingham Christian Academy , was an answered prayer. The Lord put a fire in our heart for a Private Christian School that Effingham so desperately needed. Finally that prayer turned into a reality in 2023 . Here at ECA we blend an academically rigorous environment with a thoughtful Christian philosophy of education. Seeing all of our students thrive here fills me with immense joy and confidence in the exceptional education our school provides.

Whether you're exploring our campus for the first time or considering ECA  for your child's educational journey, I invite you to discover the warmth of our community and the commitment of our dedicated faculty and staff. We encourage families to visit us on campus, where you can experience firsthand just how wonderful ECA  is.

We look forward to welcoming you to our campus and partnering with you in shaping futures filled with knowledge, character, and faith.
