Applying to ECA

Admission checklist

Admission to ECA is based on an evaluation of academic records, recommendation from former school, and the availability of class space. Class size limitations may prevent the admissions of all students who are academically capable of benefiting from ECA’s programs. Students from companies who are shareholders in ECA have priority in admissions in classes with limited space.

Please submit all of the information requested below. When all of the required documents have been received, an initial admission evaluation will be made. If documents are incomplete, a personal interview with the student is required prior to enrollment. Students may need to meet with a guidance counselor or the principal for a placement evaluation prior to admission or to confirm grade placement. In most cases, students who are admitted will begin classes three to five days after this evaluation, provided the financial requirements have been met.
