It used to be that a neighborhood was the one-stop launchpad for life. You went to school in your neighborhood, walked home and played with friends in your neighborhood, and lived a full life right within your neighborhood. Thanks to the East Lake Effect, that neighborhood-style existence is possible once again in Atlanta.

Home to two early childhood education centers, Drew Charter School and its brand new Senior Academy, East Lake is Atlanta’s most innovative cradle-to-college educational ecosystem.
