Pre-K Parent Testimonials 

“We chose to send our daughter to East Lake Academy because we know she’ll get a great education and be immersed in a culture that lives the Gospel. East Lake is truly a family of faith and academia.”

“We appreciate ELA’s academic rigor and excellence; in choosing a school for our children, this aspect was a given.  For us, ELA (including its leadership, staff and other parents) stood out above the rest because here, faith and character formation are prioritized.  First and foremost, we strive to raise good and kind human beings of faith, and so we chose ELA knowing the school would emphasize and reinforce our family’s values.”
