Roycemore School

I am the parent of two children who started at Chiaravalle as toddlers and are currently in 5th and 7th grades. Chiaravalle is an incredible learning environment that focuses not just on reading, math, etc., but also on social-emotional learning. The mixed-age classrooms have helped teach our children about leadership, and the integrated, self-directed curriculum has given them a love of learning. The teachers and staff are incredibly supportive and have helped us navigate a wide variety of opportunities and challenges as our children have grown. I cannot think of a place that is better suited toward helping children flourish on their journey from toddler to young adulthood.

A+. We transferred to St. A's from public school and it has been the best thing that's happened to our child's education in Evanston. Classes are challenging. Kids are held to deadlines each week. Disruptive behavior in classes is not an issue. Thoughtfulness is part of the learning. We are grateful and lucky that there was a spot open at the school, because we're now able to watch our child expand and reach upwards, rather than just attend school.

My family has been a part of Pope John XXIII School for roughly 10 years, and we've really been impressed with the close-knit community of the school. The small class sizes, individualized attention to student needs and caring teachers and staff have made it a great place for our kids to get an education. My oldest recently graduated from Pope John, and the education he received there has positioned him well for success in high school.
