EC does a great job of developing the whole student. Teachers, staff, and administrators care about each student's well-being and want them to excel socially and emotionally on top of academics. There are challenging academics and as alumni, I feel like I was properly prepared for life after high school (college, future jobs and internships, etc.).

Eastside Catholic has been a wonderful school for our three children. As many families are kids are unique to one another and yet they have all had a great experience at EC. They have wonderful friends, great teachers, a strong sense of community and belonging. They continue to learn character and morality through the strong leadership at the school. EC has met each of our children "where they were at" and helped foster their confidence, curiosity and developed them to have a true sense of themselves.

Excellent teachers in a college-like campus

EC has been an amazing experience for our three kids who have experienced both the middle school and high school setting. The values and focus on community giving, social responsibility and academic excellence have prepared our kids for a bright future. We highly recommend EC to any prospective parent and student considering EC and have been more than pleased with the culture and experience our kids benefitted from being a part of such a wonderful community.

You can't beat Eastside Catholic's college prep and student atmosphere. There are plenty of AP and Honors offerings and students can choose which ones they want to take. The kids are inclusive to everyone - no matter what friend group you're in, you're accepted by everyone. These kids work hard, but lift each other up and have fun.
