As an Asian mom, I have been to many different tutoring places, but here are a few reasons why I…read morethink this is the best. Since COVID-19, my son's grades have plummeted like many other kids, and it was too hard for him to do it on his own. However, after attending this place for several years, I can confidently say that my son's English and math grades are rock solid. But more than that, the biggest reason my son likes this school is because of the teachers. Of course, they are experienced and talented, but more than anything, they are kind and affectionate to the kids, and they always give them the confidence that they are the best and can do well even if their grades drop. Since coming here, my son has always been confident and believes that he is doing well, and he feels secure because he always has a place to ask questions and learn when he doesn't know something or has homework. This year, my son is a high school student, and he still wants to continue attending this place and says he will do one-on-one if he is not good enough. If you come here, you will feel what I mean.

In the past few years (2022, 2025), I have sent 2 kids through Huntington - Grayslake. Fantastic…read moreinvestment. My first kid had trouble with reading and was tripped up in understanding word problems. We tried everything. We tried the school, we tried disciplining, begging, and bribing our kid to somehow get up to grade level. Not much luck. We tried private tutors. Ok, small success there but not enough. Plus, with private tutors - they are like unlicensed cabs. You don't really know who you're dealing with; I did not run a background check and I doubt many parents would do so. Then, OK, we tried HLC. Great tutors, great content, helpful staff. We saw a difference in short order. Scores improved and - to our shock - my child actually enjoyed being there. Long story short, I sent my second child to Huntington in Grayslake also. Again, good results. I very much recommend Huntington Learning Center. Despite being a nationwide company, they have a "local" feel that, I can tell, really responds to community demand as well as parent concerns. They are also surprisingly affordable and flexible with payment schedule. The one downside I will admit to - they aren't open Friday afternoons and there aren't enough closed doors/offices to control noise. It is one big open space. But, overall, HLC grayslake is very much worth it. PS. my kids introduced me to memes. So here's one!

Huntington has their own curriculum and does not match your kids school curriculum. Plus they ask for the school information and don't bother reaching out to them. They finally reached out when I told them I was not the middle person and they should be doing their job. Now I have a loan that I'm still paying for nothing. The test my daughters took at school showed no progress. the response I received is they are not done with their program. So pretty much I continue to pay with no guarantees. There school testing showed there was no progress. I told them that one of my child may have a learning disability and was told they don't specialize in that. If anything they should have offered to refund or try to negotiate something. I tried to get refunded or at least partially refunded and that turned out a no! We will not have our daughters attending there any more. I am very disappointed and would not suggest it to others. Save your money reach out to the school and ask for assistance. Huntington does not care, they just want to get paid. big sign if they are not will to guarantee, it should tell you a lot!

It was important for me to do the research all the schools and even talk to parents that had children in the school before I could make a good choice. There are a number of preschool options in this area, including public, Christian, and places like KinderCare. None of these options provided optimal class sizes, and through my investigation I came to see that the methods developed by Dr. Maria Montessori were critical to the development young children. I was thrilled to find Children's House Montessori School where my children received specialized made-for-them scholastic development. While my children are both still very young, other parents with children that have gone through Children's House Montessori School explain that children leave with above average skills and the confidence to use them. Very grateful for the school, program, and exceptional teachers that love their work and their students.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend spending your hard-earned money here. This school is simply not the same as it was just a few years ago. My children have attended since 2020, and under the previous principal, our experience was truly exceptional. She demonstrated genuine care for every child, communicated openly with families, and worked hard to resolve issues in a compassionate and timely manner. However, since the leadership change in 2024, the environment has shifted significantly. Communication has been one of my biggest concerns. I have reached out multiple times regarding issues involving my children and often received no response at all. Attempts to schedule in-person conferences especially to support my son, who has mild autism were repeatedly ignored. I was simply told there were not enough staff members to provide adequate supervision or support, particularly during unstructured times like recess. What has been especially troubling is the lack of transparency. There were incidents involving my children that I was never informed about at the time, only to later receive formal written reports via email. Rather than proactive communication or collaborative problem-solving, the school's approach often felt reactive and impersonal, with immediate mentions of suspension or expulsion instead of meaningful discussion. As a parent, it is deeply disappointing to see such a lack of responsiveness, care, and individualized attention especially in a Catholic school setting, where values of compassion, understanding, and support should be at the forefront. At times, it feels as though the focus has shifted more toward running the school as a business rather than nurturing and supporting the well-being of each child. I am truly saddened by this change and hope the administration takes parent concerns seriously moving forward. Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and valued.

He can deliver a speech in front of a church group with confidence and no pressure. He amazes himself on the accomplishments he has made each school year. For as long as we are able to, we plan to keep him at SJBS and (eventually) enroll his little brother into the school.
