I'm a new student at Elgin Academy and I can say with complete sincerity that both the students and staff have been incredibly accommodating. The students have welcomed me with open arms and the faculty has made my transition so much easier.

Great school. Pre-K to high school was big factor in our decision to enroll our daughter. 10 years into her education and she is thriving. Strong academics, sports, and exposure to the arts have been critical in her development. Encourage anyone assessing educational options to reach out to school and visit the campus, you will not be disappointed.

Excellent! We are happy 14 year “lifers” at Elgin Academy. Our son started in pre-school and he is currently having a very successful Junior year. My wife and I wanted our son to have an academic focused education, with small class sizes and K-12 on one campus. We chose Elgin Academy and have never...
