School Notes:

East Lake Academy is a private, independent Roman Catholic school in Lake Forest, Illinois that enjoys the spiritual support and encouragement of the Archdiocese of Chicago. East Lake is sponsored by the Legionaries of Christ and attempts to reflect their dynamic and apostolic spirituality. The specific mission of East Lake Academy is summarized in the motto, Integer Homo (Latin for "the whole man"); that is, providing its students with an integral formation. Our educational program consists of three essential elements: teaching, educating and forming.
To teach means to provide the student with the intellectual capabilities, content and skills needed to respond to the demands of today's society.
To educate means to train the student in the habit of intellectual rigor, structured reasoning, and in the appreciation of beauty; it means to cultivate sensitivity, memory, imagination; and finally, to develop the art of communication and the ability to express oneself clearly and elegantly.
To form is to lead the student to become a person for others, with an upright ethical code, sensitivity toward the needs of others - especially the most disadvantaged - and openness to human and spiritual values. In this way students are prepared not just for professional success, but also for their self-realization as persons and authentic Christians in the various facets of their personal and professional lives.
