The mission of Elijah House Academy is to provide a christ-centered and accessible choice in education that cultivates the hearts, minds, and bodies of our city's children for god's glory and richmond's flourishing. The majority of our students, transitional kindergarten through eighth grade, are either economically disadvantaged or educationally disenfranchised, and eha offers all of our learners a safe place to grow in confidence and purpose. Because Elijah House Academy provides tuition on a sliding scale, IT is an excellent and accessible choice for all richmond families. Every student is equipped with the academic and social-emotional skills required to succeed in the classroom, home, and society. We DO this by offering our students a liberal arts education, public speaking, habit formation, academic support, mentorship, enrichment classes, and athletics - all in a small classroom environment.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
