On the morning of September 16, 2016, East Lake Academy will hold its’ 15th Annual Family & Friends Golf Outing at the Deerpath Golf Course in Lake Forest. The shotgun event starts at 8:00 a.m. (registration at 7:30 a.m.), and finishes by 1:00 p.m. The proceeds of the Annual Golf Outing provide funding for scholarships afforded to military families in the North Shore area who desire for their children to attend East Lake Academy. Last year East Lake Academy raised over $100,000 for military scholarships and operational costs. East Lake Academy maintains its unprecedented reputation of achieving almost 100% participation from its school families for the fund raising event.
Students are encouraged to think critically, develop a healthy curiosity about the world around them, and to express themselves clearly. Core subjects are complemented by an array of academics, fine arts, and athletic programs.

Students are expected to be punctual, fulfill all assignments, participate in teamwork, and to maintain order and an attitude of helpfulness.
East Lake Academy teaches the faith both as an academic subject and as a guide for life. True faith formation leads to harmony between knowledge and life. Students participate in weekly mass and in monthly virtue campaigns.
