From Our Community

My son started at EKHLA for kindergarten during the COVID pandemic. The teachers quickly adapted to engaging meaningfully with the students despite remote connections. Over the years, my now fifth grader has developed a strong group of friends who challenge each other academically. He has also enjoyed the sports programs offered at EKHLA. EKHLA fosters an environment of inclusion and respects diversity. With such a diverse group of children, it is inspirational how they all come together to support each other. Community is everything, and EKHLA is the best!

My child was homeschooled for four years before attending EKHLA. He has supportive classmates and teachers. They push him academically in a way I wouldn't have. I'm so proud of him and the progress he has made. Thank you!

Jackie C. - Parent

What makes EKHLA such a special place for my two daughters is the winning combination of an excellent and professional teaching staff alongside an atmosphere that encourages a positive and enriching school experience.

We see daily the dedication of the educators who provide our daughters with a deep and comprehensive knowledge base. The teachers' professionalism allows each of my girls to excel and develop her full potential on an academic level.

Despite the high standards, the school maintains a friendly and child-appropriate feel, making the learning journey enjoyable and inspiring.

We are proud to be part of the EKHLA community.
