At EL-G we pride ourselves on being a place where our students, parents, and staff want to be. Our younger students are comfortable in school and very familiar with the building, the staff and all of the other students.  Students need to feel safe, both physically and emotionally, before optimal learning can take place.  Our newly remodeled secure building entrances promote a physically safe school environment and because of our smaller class sizes, students and staff develop a close relationship in which students can feel emotionally safe to try, at times fail, but ultimately grow.  In a small school setting, it becomes easier to recognize situations which might be detrimental to student safety and/or learning and curtail them before they escalate. Providing a caring, individualized learning environment is important to us and our size sets us apart in our ability to do so. 

At EL-G, we balance focusing on student academics with encouraging students to explore new growth opportunities in almost any field of interest. While 60+ college credits are offered on-site, ELGS also has a strong, innovative programs in the CTE (Career/Technical Education) and fine arts areas. There are dozens of clubs to join including but not limited to robotics, forensics, AFS, FCCLA, and NHS . Elkhart Lake-Glenbeaulah has a unique ability to utilize technology in our distance learning lab to get classes from other schools making our course options almost unlimited - elevating a student’s responsibility for their own education. In addition, there are dozens of clubs to join including but not limited to robotics, forensics, AFS, FCCLA, NHS, foreign language, drama, art, etc.  And if we don't have what a student needs...just let us know.  There's always the possibly of adding more!

Teaching and Learning at EL-G is different.

"Elkhart Lake - Glenbeulah isn't just a good school, it's a great school.

Each student is known personally: by name, by family, by needs, by future plans and by what makes that student special.  This district sincerely values every student as a member of our school community.  We offer tremendous opportunities academically, yet look out for each student’s well-being.  We offer excellent extra-curricular activities, yet never forget how it all needs to work together.

We offer everything a top notch school should have, but with the personal touch of a family.  Smallness matters. Attitude matters. Respect matters.  Hard work matters. PEOPLE matter!!!"
