Eastbrook Academy grew out of a vision of the local church with
a biblical mandate to reach a broad range of people in the city
of Milwaukee for Christ. The “reach” included developing
strong leadership for the future of the city. The goal was to equip
individuals with a superior education and skills required for access
to higher education, employment, exposure to and love for the nations,
intellectual exploration and lifelong learning.
With the support of Eastbrook Church and the support of the community,
Eastbrook Academy Lower School opened in 1998. The Academy began
with a pre-school, four-year, five-year old kindergarten and first
grade. The Academy grew slowly by adding one grade level per year
to its current two classrooms per grade. The Middle School was then
added in 2003 and the High School was added in 2006.
In 2006, Eastbrook Church expanded its facilities to include additional
classroom space, elevators, a connection space between the school
and worship/gathering/classroom area and parking. Through this expansion,
family and financial support of organizations such as Partners Advancing
Values in Education (PAVE) and the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation
(TALC) a ninth grade was added.
Plans have been developed and fundraising is underway for the addition
of a multi-purpose /gymnasium facility. |
