I went to this school from 7th-10th grade. As an adult who is now a science major, I have had to work a lot harder due a substantial gap in my science education at this school. If you want your kid to have a solid science and math foundation, do not send them to this school.

We love this school! We’re so happy we found a school with such devotion to its students and a curriculum that can uniquely nurture the talents of each child.

This school is all smoke and mirrors. They put on a good act, but the bottom line is there is no true curriculum. Teachers have full autonomy on what they teach or don't teach. There is a reason there are only five-star reviews and one-star reviews, nothing in between. Most of the five-star reviews are written by the school, family members, or close friends. If your child needs to be in a classroom with only five or six other kids, then go ahead and enroll. They will get personal attention but not an education.

My family and I are thrilled with this amazing school. The Einstein Academy is truly a blessing for us. We believe this school is the perfect mix of challenging curriculum, small class sizes and dedicated teachers that truly go above and beyond! The administration is on top of every detail and always keeps us well informed and involved in all school matters. This school is like an extended family. Anyone who walks in the doors can instantly feel the warmth and sincerity that fills this exceptional school.

Excellent. The teachers are dedicated and caring. They do a great job at teaching everyone. They allow children to advance at their own pace in math and really push them to do their best. They have a creative and challenging environment. Very happy we sent our children here.

I will always be grateful for the amazing experience I had attending the high school program at The Einstein Academy!Not only did I have amazing teachers and endless amounts of support but the small class size allowed for a very tight knit group of students from very different backgrounds to interact and form lasting friendships. I made friends I never would have thought to even speak to in a public school environment. I looked forward to school and interacting with my teachers and fellow students everday. Also, attending classes part-time at the local community college as part of our curriculum for credit hours and experience was such a beneficial experience. Not only was the at school experience phenomenal but on top of that we took many educational (and some just for fun) field trips. Our dean took us to multiple college campuses in the Chicagoland area to help us get a feel for what we might be looking for in a school after graduation. My favorite trip had to be when the whole school flew to the beautiful Florida Keys so that that the students could spend an amazing educational week at SeaCamp. I made memories that will be with me for life!I loved my time at The Einstein Academy! It is a unique and rewarding program!

The Einstein Academy has served as a safe, educational environment for both of my children for the past three years. My High School Sophomore and 5th grader are excelling and achieving the high standards set by the teachers. The individualized attention allows each student to thrive in their strengths and feel supported as they work through areas of weakness. The Einstein Academy is a special place and I am thankful we found the school.

The Einstein Academy is more than school. It is a community built by the students, teachers, and parents, and it is for providing the best for the students. The community is so heartwarming and caring, that it truly feels like family. My kids have been in other schools and they both say that The Einstein Academy is truly like no other. At the school, my children have been able to receive one-on-one attention with the teachers. Teachers are always willing to work with students or just even casually talk with students about their interests. The school goes beyond the ordinary teaching method and installs modern methods which actually corresponds with our own era. The Einstein Academy truly shines a bright light onto education.

I truly love everything about this school. The teachers are so cteative and caring. The administration goes above and beyond for everything. The principal even gives out her cell number! The students are courteous and eager to learn. Seriously this school is an educational eutopia!

The Einstein Academy is an outstanding school with a rigerous education. It is extremely special that the school allows individuality for each student and allowance for each student's passion to surge in their favorite subjects. I transferred to The Einstein Academy the beginning of my senior year and I can say that it was the best decision I have made. I was instantly welcomed by my fellow peers and by the faculty. It is a completely judgement-free school. I am extremely ecstatic that I am able to be myself in a positive and uplifting environment at The Einstein Academy.

I've been to two other schools and I just wasn't challenged and I was even teased and bullied for wanting to learn. Thank goodness my parents found the Einstein Academy! It is the perfect fit for me. The students are all motivated to learn and the teachers are super caring and creative. Now I love going to school every day!

Our family has been part of the Einstein community for the past 6 years and can't say enough positive things about our experience. The teachers, staff members, students, and families at this school are wonderful people who really care about one another. Since the classes are kept small, the teachers are able to differentiate learning and help each student reach his/her potential. The students are respected by their peers and teachers, which provides a supportive and welcoming environment conducive to learning. The students are challenged here without being stressed out. Our 2 children enjoy going to The Einstein Academy and being part of the school community.

This school is truly one of a kind! The teachers care about each and every student and challenge everyone without stressing them out. Absolutely a remarkable educational atmosphere for academically talented students!

Exceptional teachers who are willing to work with the kids, partner with parents, and leverage each other's skills for the best possible outcome for the kids. The families are great too. Our kids have been at 3 private schools due to moves. This one is a gem and well worth the investment.

I have been at this school for the last six years, and I'm currently a junior in high school. I started at the Einstein Academy when I was in sixth grade, and I am so happy that I have been able to expierence my middle school and high school years here. The high school program is a fantastic program—the teachers are so caring and amazing. The English teacher is excellent, I've learned so much from her than any other teacher I've ever had. Same with the Latin teacher and history/science teacher. A downside to this school is that we have a very small high school. The high school has a total of nine students, myself being the only junior. But having a small class has become an advantage. I am really close to everyone in my class, and some I would even call my second family. I would much rather have a small class but have everlasting bonds with everyone than be in a huge school where I only know a small percentage of people. Another factor at the Einstein Academy is our homework. Coming from middle school into high school, I became overwhelmed with how much homework was given. I came to handle it, and now I can say because of the homework I have learned a lot. We have a book report due every trimester in English, daily homework in Latin, and many hands on projects in both history and science. Another thing I enjoy at TEA is the fact that I am able to interact with all age groups. Whether it being walking the pre-k and kindergarten children down to the creek behind our school for our water testing day, or helping with field day, we are always willing to help and interact with all the younger kids. Another specific interaction is Big Panther Little Panther. Our class came up with an "organization" within the school where we bring our school closer together as a community. It's coming to the end of my junior year at the Einstein Academy and I cannot believe that the year has gone by so fast. I truly love this school and I am excited to come back next year as a senior.
