Before our children started at East Lake Academy, we felt lost. Our children were spending seven plus hours a day, five days a week, in an environment that rewarded academic mediocrity and embraced cultural trends that ran counter to our Catholic values. Upon driving up to the school … we felt apprehension. Upon leaving we felt only conviction that this was where our boys would flourish. The teachers were passionate about teaching, making it clear this was not a job, rather a vocation. The students were happy, hardworking and respectful, both in presentation and through their actions.
