It ranks sixth in the Atlanta Business Chronicle of Atlanta's 75 largest private schools. HistoryEagle's Landing Christian Academy was founded as McDonough Christian Academy in 1970. The school had its first graduating class in 1973, with nine students. It was renamed Meadow Creek Christian Academy before becoming Greater Atlanta Christian School – Meadow Creek Campus. In 1994, Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church assumed control of the school, naming it Eagle's Landing Christian Academy.[1] Eagle's Landing Christian AcademyIn 1994, the academy became a ministry of Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church. In 2000, the school and church moved to the current location. In 2006, the school and church went through a multimillion-dollar building project, adding a new gym, church offices, and cafeteria. As a part of the new cafeteria, the school began using the SAGE lunch program. Swine fluOn May 4, 2009 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that a 14-year-old student had H1N1 virus, also known as swine flu.[2] This was the first reported case of H1N1 of a Georgia resident. The school was forced to close for fourteen days according to federal guidelines. All school events – athletic, educational, and fine arts – were canceled until further notice. The CDC changed its policy on school closures on May 5, and ELCA began to prepare to reopen on May 7. On May 6, the school had its second case of swine flu.[3] In response, the school began a cleaning effort. School administrator Chuck Gilliam stated,[4] "We are cleaning light switches, door handles, and other places students come in contact with..." On May 7, the school reopened. The students returned to class as normal, but new safety regulations were put in place to prevent transmission of swine flu by student-to-student contact. The school's reaction to the outbreak was viewed by parents and students as an example for future administrations.[5] AcademicsHigh schoolEagle's Landing Christian Academy offers several honors and 19 Advanced Placement classes.
