EAGLE CREEK ACADEMY
a private school in Lake Orion, Michigan
serving elementary students, preschool children and toddlers
Eagle Creek’s children are unique and amazing individuals who love the challenges of a STEAM education and soar in school and beyond.
At Eagle Creek​
​
The children are in small classes so we can offer customized lessons.
We do a lot of hands-on activities because children learn best when they are actively engaged.
We specialize in STEAM, an integration of science, technology, engineering, art and math, because this is the future.
Each class is like a small family where the children & their families develop strong friendships that last a lifetime.
​
Love and joy are the greatest teachers.

From Mrs. Deering, an Eagle Creek Teacher
"When I first experienced ECA, I was so intrigued! We have a gorgeous building with big classrooms, natural light and wooded areas all around. I love the giant eagles when you walk in the front doors. To me, the entire campus shouts inspiration and the opportunity for unique learning, soaring above and beyond what we think we might be capable of. The small class size really allows the children to create lasting bonds, and as a teacher, I can truly get to know my kids and their families. I like how each classroom, with its welcoming mood and cozy furniture, feels like home. Yes, we offer a solid academic foundation, but ECA is more about developing strong bonds and taking learning to new heights."
From Mrs. Zambrano, an Eagle Creek Parent
"A lot of schools say they differentiate so each child has a chance to excel, but at Eagle Creek, they really do it. My son has moved up two reading levels and now loves to write, and my girl gets to do all the STEAM she dreams about. I applaud ECA for following through. Thank you!”
From Ms. Stevanovich, an Eagle Creek Alumni
I spent 2nd-8th grade at ECA during a very tumultuous time in my life. ECA gave me the stability I needed to thrive and prepared me well for high school at Cranbrook. The ECA teachers, who truly cared about their students' well-being, became like family to me, and the principal supported my growth immensely. I am now 22. I finished my undergraduate degree in two years and am about to conclude my second year of law school. I am grateful that Eagle Creek gave me the foundation to thrive in school and truly set me up to have a successful future. If it was not for their generous financial aid program, I wouldn't have been able to attend, so I love that ECA really accommodates families with financial needs. Thank you, ECA.
From Ms. Wenzell, an Eagle Creek Alumni
Some of my best and earliest memories come from my time at ECA, which played a pivotal role in shaping who I am today. Whether I was conducting science experiments or taking the stage in the school play, there was always something special happening. The small classroom sizes fostered an environment where I not only received tailored academic support, but was able to create lifelong friendships with classmates that I still cherish. I went on to study abroad in 10 different countries while earning my Bachelor of Science in Business, and I am now a successful marketing professional. The foundation I gained at ECA has been essential to my journey, and anyone fortunate enough to attend ECA is on a solid path to a bright future.
