Why Eastern Hills
Christian Academy?
Our mission is to provide a Christ-centered education that equips and inspires children to serve God and impact their world.
So why do Albuquerque families choose Eastern Hills Christian Academy to prepare their child for what’s next?
Because at EHCA, education is more than academics. Through a Christ-centered community, culture, and curriculum, we share God’s love with children and prepare them to excel in all areas of life.
Here are some of the many reasons why
families choose EHCA:
Curriculum Focused on Your Child, Not an Agenda
Our curriculum is grounded in truth and shaped by a biblical worldview rather than shifting educational trends. Instruction is designed to help students think critically, grow academically, and understand the world through the lens of faith.
Teachers Who Make a Lasting Impact
Our teachers are deeply committed to Christian education and to helping each student grow academically and spiritually. They know their students well, provide thoughtful guidance, and partner with families to prepare children for lives of faith, character, and purpose.
High Academic Standards with Proven Results
EHCA follows Virginia State Education Standards, consistently ranked among the best in the nation. As a result, our students outperform national norms, with reading and literacy ratings double, and math scores nearly triple those of local public schools.
The Best of Both Worlds
Small class sizes ensure every child is known, valued and supported with personalized attention. At the same time, mixed-grade enrichments and electives give students opportunities to learn, collaborate, and build friendships beyond their classroom.
Outstanding Early Education
Our Preschool and Pre-K programs lay a strong foundation for growth and learning. With the state’s highest quality rating, full- and half-day options, and enrichments in Spanish, PE, and Music, it’s no surprise we were voted Best Preschool by Albuquerque Journal readers.
Community that Feels Like Family
From our Back-to-School BBQ to events like Tears & Cheers, Grandparents Day, STEAM Night, Spring Carnival, movie nights, and game nights, our community stays connected year-round. Christmas and Spring Worship Celebrations and Art Shows allow us to celebrate student talents together and foster belonging well beyond the classroom.
Faith-Led Discipleship Every Day
Faith is woven into everything we do, from biblical integration across the curriculum to school-wide worship during biweekly chapel. Students are encouraged to live out their faith by loving their neighbors through service projects.
