• World Venture (formerly CBI)

Several mission agencies, such as CAM International, One Mission Society, and SEND International, actively recruit missionaries to teach at the Evangelical Christian Academy. These mission agencies help ECA meet its need for teachers.

Strategy for Reducing Cost of Tuition

The Evangelical Christian Academy distinguishes itself from other public and private schools by its means of operation; ECA recruits missionaries to teach purely on a volunteer basis. Each teacher raises his or her own financial support before teaching at ECA. The money saved by employing missionary teachers is used to reduce the cost of tuition for missionary children. The fact that ECA's tuition differs for missionary children and non-missionary children highlights the fact that the school was designed to serve missionary children in Spain.
