As an intentionally small school, understanding the feel of Elgin Academy—our campus and our classrooms, yes, but primarily our people and our pedagogy—is vastly important to you as a prospective family.
Here, taking learning personally is more than a credo—it defines our promise to each and every student and family who calls EA home.
