About Us

Great Lakes Academy is a high performing charter school located on Chicago's southeast side. We currently serve grades K-4 and will be growing one grade level per year until we serve grades K-8.

The Great Lakes Academy mission is to prepare all of our students with the fundamental academic skills, critical thinking ability, and strength of character to excel in high school, college, and a career of their choice. We empower all of our students with the education today that they will need to change the world tomorrow.
