From the teachers, to the community, to the tradition I would recommend anyone that wants to see their children grow and thrive in a nurturing and fun environment to try and get into this school. When I have had the pleasure of seeing the teachers in action, they all practice what the parenting books I have read preach. The community of families, parents, and alumni is one of our favorite aspects of belonging to this school. LPCNS has been around for nearly a century and thanks to their commitment to care and excellence they will be for a century more.

All of her teachers were amazing and they are superstars in her mind- if we bump into them on the street it still makes her day. Besides the great classroom experience it was built the best community for us. I love all my co-op friends. Tip: try for an afternoon class- I originally was skeptical but having the afternoon class allowed for all sorts of after school activities with friends and also left the mornings open for other classes/lessons or lazy mornings

An amazing school that graduates smart, confident, and well-balanced students. It's been an…read moreunexpected gift to be able to send our child to Chicago Friends School. Being from the east coast, I'm aware of the values of a Quaker education - observing my child's (and other students') growth only highlights its impact even more - I wish more people knew about it. The classroom environment and skilled, caring faculty provide individualized learning rather than the tug and scrum between discipline and attention we've experienced in other schools. If you are searching for the right school for your K-8th grade learner, give Chicago Friends a go. Now more than ever, our kids need this kind of education. It's a great place.

We are new to CFS this year. Our child is in the 6th grade. From day one, the whole community have…read morebeen welcoming and the experience have so far been amazing for our child and our family. We were initially unsure about the pacing and whether the academic rigor will be there due to the smaller class sizes. But it hasn't been a problem. Our child comes back each day and tells us that he is being challenged in his classes and that he is enjoying the "difficulties" because it's "fun" which tells us the he is on track. He also tells us that the kids has been welcoming to him as "the new kid" and that he is free to be himself and make friends with kids both older and younger. We think CFS is perfect for anyone who is looking for a nurturing environment socially with a more individualized learning based of each child's needs.

The teachers and staff are amazing at foster our littlest ones to develop kindness, listening skills, problem solving skills, patience and learning the more basic fundamentals through purposeful play. My third child is at MM right now and loving every minute of it (the other 2 went there too!). The curriculum is creative, imaginative and playful - drawing self portraits, looking for the gingerbread man, creating art that works on their fine motor skills and cooperation. I cannot speak more highly of this school and could not imagine having our children start their school process anywhere else!

Parents are welcomed as collaborators and community members. The half day program allows kids to explore individual interests (and parents will help coordinate activities). Teachers make the program what it is -- and they stick around and have decades of experience. My son is in the afternoon class. He gave up his nap the first day of school, and goes to bed every night tired and happy. He's gained confidence socially, emotionally and is ready for next year.

I am aware Brian Tennison is now Supertindent. In…read moreretrospect, former Principal Brian Tennison was the most neglectful staff ever seen at Lane Tech College Prep. I am an adult who is 40 years old. I know right from wrong. Principal Tennison might have shook every Lane students hands while he was in office, he neglected their needs as far as stress goes. There was no relief, no therapist offered whatsoever. Brian Tennison did not care. Plus, he took away all the parents privileges to volunteer at their Prom. I was devastated at that time. Even though, my youngest daughter was unhappy about me not going to her prom. I would have been very happy without dancing and prom dinner. I rather be in the same ballroom with both my daughters' prom instead of dinner and dancing. We survived without it. I do not know who changed the prom volunteer policy. Hence I am very sad at Brian Tennison. Dr. Christopher Dignam was a very very excellent principal. Dr. Dignam allowed parents to participate as prom volunteers. You rock Dr. Christopher Dignam!!!!!! Does anyone have a say about the parents, prom and Dr. Chris Dignam?

My child has been at Goddard since the summer and we are getting ready to leave to go to a new…read moreschool that is closer to our new house, and we are heartbroken. The staff and teachers at Goddard so deeply care for her, and I have seen her grow both socially and intellectually in really incredible ways. The teachers have been curious about her and her needs, and I feel like she wakes up looking forward to attending. Everyone there knows her, and admin has been really accommodating and helpful when they didn't need to be. I was very picky and did a lot of visiting and research before I chose Goddard--I chose them because I love the private playground and community activities. But the school itself has been a really big blessing to my kiddo, and I have seen her explode in confidence, language, and social skills. I am very sad to be leaving.

The Goddard School allowed my student to be bitten over and over again and then labeled my student as the problem and continues to take tuition while isolating him and pushing him out.

The class sizes are small, there are currently 14 students in her 1st grade class. They, meaning the faculty, staff and administration treat the children like family. There are several parent groups to join to help the school too, these include a strong LSC, a PAC (Parent Advisory Committee), and Friends of Jahn (the fundraising arm of the school). They offer Spanish at all grade levels, art, music, and have their own gym, lunch room and auditorium. The new administration, principal M. Herring and assistant principal G.

I called Everbrook Frantically and the teachers were able to let me complete all the paperwork in one day and I had my kid started the very next day. I cannot be more appreciative for their willingness to help me. They help me with my kids remote learning every day and assisted him with his homework; they have time to do games and other extracurricular activities like painting. My kid loved it everyday. There is no parking lot, but I had no trouble parking immediately outside the academy. The pic I posted here is just one of the photos that the teachers sent me on a daily basis via brightwheel app. This app allows me to send messages to teachers, and They reply fairly quickly. The tuition is reasonable and competitive.

Kathy especially has been awesome with transitioning my son (who is VERY clingy) and takes the time to make sure it's the least traumatic experience for everyone. I also see her picking up the children for hugs and kisses on a regular basis which shows me that she really cares about these kids and isn't just checking in and out at a job. Each child has a folder that you check daily for their newsletters (which tell stories of the kids activities, art work, meal planning, etc) and the teachers are very willing to discuss your child if you have questions when you drop them off or pick them up. Everyone that I have encountered here has been wonderful and very sincere, which is so necessary when you're leaving the most important person to you with another person. In addition to the great staff, the kids get to have an awesome experience while they are there (and I see a lot of the kids running into school when their parents are dropping them off). They go on field trips daily to the park, zoo, beach, museum, farmer's markets, etc. They have music class, language class, open play, and educational time. The schedules are flexible and the drop off/pick up parking is a breeze. It's just been a dream for me to have something like LPP for my son and my piece of mind.
