Preparing to serve Dade City · 2027–28

A place to belong.A place to grow.A place to thrive.

Christian K–12 education

The Encounter Worship Center Christian Academy is preparing for an exciting next chapter in Dade City. A Christ-centered education where every student is known, supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow into the person God created them to be.

Christian education designed to see the whole child

Your child is more than a number.

Every child is unique. At EWCCA, we recognize and celebrate the individual—their strengths, their challenges, and their God-given potential.

Faith at the center

A Christ-centered education that shapes character, integrity, and purpose.

Individualized learning

Academic assessment, smaller environments, and targeted support when needed.

A place to belong

A caring school community where students are known, encouraged, and supported.

“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”Proverbs 22:6

Different learners. Brighter futures.

A school community for different kinds of learners.

EWCCA serves general-education students and students who may benefit from additional academic or behavioral support. Our experience includes students with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, developmental differences, intellectual disabilities, and other learning or behavioral challenges.

We strive to understand the whole student—their strengths, needs, interests, and God-given potential. Our focus is educational support and family partnership. A conversation about your student’s educational needs and the support available helps us explore whether EWCCA is a good fit.

Explore our educational approach

Faith and learning, growing together.

From kindergarten through 12th grade, EWCCA combines Christian curriculum, individualized instruction, and academic progress monitoring with opportunities to grow in character and faith.

K–12 continuity gives families a school community to grow with, through different ages and stages.

Our planned next chapter

Honoring History. Building the Future.

EWCCA is preparing for a planned future transition to Dade City, with Moore-Mickens serving as the envisioned setting for the school’s next chapter.

We look forward to honoring the significance of this historic educational property while creating a Christ-centered environment where a new generation of students can learn, belong, and thrive.

Dade City, Florida

A promising next chapter. More families. More opportunities. A stronger future.

The transition and location remain planned and pending. Our current operating location is in Tampa; a finalized Dade City campus or opening date has not been announced.

Scholarships & affordability

Private Christian education may be more affordable than you think.
