The Einstein Academy is a small, private school for talented and gifted students in Pre-kindergarten through High school. The academy is registered as a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit organization in Elgin, Illinois, and is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.^[1]

While learning together for most subjects, students progress at their own level and pace in mathematics and Latin. Class sizes are limited to 14 students so teachers can give individualized attention. Hands-on activities and field trips are emphasized to supplement the curriculum.

The school has affiliations with the Illinois Association for Gifted Children, College Board, and the National Honor Society.
