Elgin Academy

Small class sizes, and excellent teachers that love what they do -- Mr. Kidston, Mr. Shearer, Ms. Merrill, Ms. Stillmank, Mr. Dwyer, just to name a few!

The small classrooms and high caliber, caring, and commited faculty make EA one of the best.

It's a great place to learn. A great place for sport. A great place for making friends. Small learning environment gives emphasis and focus on the student.

Elgin Academy is an outstanding place for students and parents due to its caring and nurturing administration and teachers. The highly challenging curriculum, individualized student attention and co-curricular activities are reflected as the student grows and gains social and academic confidence. We are very proud EA parents! We truly believe that our university sophomore s placement was not only due to our student s hard work and dedication but it s attributed to the hard work and effort of EA and its mission to work through the process as a collaborative effort between faculty, student and parents. Furthermore, the growth, confidence and excitement of our younger students is truly rewarding and attributed to EA s philosophy of enabling and challenging students to try things that they wouldn t have imagined. Thank you EA!
