Elgin Academy
Elgin, Illinois (siehe Karte)
The Upper School years are ones of great personal growth for students. Elgin Academy
maintains a focus on this growth when planning both curricular and co-curricular programs.
An essential part of this process is our advisory program which pairs each student with an EA
faculty member who serves as his/her advisor and provides academic and personal guidance
as well as advocacy in dealings with teachers, administration, and parents. To enhance
academic growth for each student, the Academy offers multiple levels of courses, including
regular college preparatory, honors/accelerated, and Advanced Placement. We encourage
students to challenge themselves intellectually and offer a curriculum with a range of
electives, including opportunities for independent study.
School Mission
Elgin Academy is a preschool through grade 12 independent, college preparatory,
coeducational day school committed to developing the full potential of each of its students.
Through a proactive partnership among faculty, parents, and students in a nurturing, dynamic,
challenging, and diverse community, the Academy creates an environment where students
may acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to become intellectually engaged
and confident about their place in the world.
