Ellwood Christian Academy - Ellwood Christian Academy is a private, Christ-centered school in Selma, Alabama, serving students from Pre-K through 12th grade. With a mission to prepare spiritually grounded, academically equipped, and service-oriented leaders, Ellwood combines a rigorous education with faith-based values that empower students to live with purpose and lead with integrity. Our school crest—featuring the cross and eagle—symbolizes our deep-rooted commitment to Christian principles and the limitless potential of every child.

Starting in the 2025–2026 school year, Ellwood will expand its high school experience by implementing the Build Up model—an innovative early-college, workforce development program that blends academic instruction with real-world application. Through this model, high school students will earn dual enrollment credits, gain paid internships and develop leadership and financial literacy skills that position them for college, career, and eventual homeownership. This partnership uniquely aligns with Ellwood’s mission by equipping students not only with the knowledge and skills to succeed, but also the economic and civic tools to uplift their families and communities.
