The Chicago City Day School was founded in 1981 to provide superb educational opportunities for Chicago families. Committed to the principle that small schools provide large opportunities for children, City Day limits its enrollment to 275 pupils in junior (4-year-old) kindergarten through eighth grade. In an environment that celebrates the exuberance of childhood, The Chicago City Day School offers a program that is rigorous and nurturing. The School recognizes the varying abilities of the children it serves and places a high premium on the academic achievement of every student. At City Day, to ensure a close relationship between teachers and students, class size is limited to 10 in kindergarten, 20 in grades first through eighth. All of the School’s instructional programs begin in junior kindergarten. In each grade, homeroom teachers provide instruction in reading, mathematics, language arts, and social studies. Instruction in French, Spanish, laboratory science, art, music, creative dramatics, computer science, industrial arts, and physical education is provided at all levels by specialists. Frequent field trips throughout the Chicago area supplement the curriculum and help children develop an awareness of the vitality of city living. A skilled and devoted faculty is the School’s richest asset. Only experienced teachers who have earned at least a master’s degree are invited to join Chicago City Day School’s faculty. The School’s two-acre campus is situated one-half block from Lake Shore Drive on a tree-lined residential street in Chicago’s Belmont Harbor area. State-of-the-art facilities include spacious classrooms, two science laboratories, a library and computer center, performing arts theater, art studio, two gymnasiums, an industrial arts shop, and music classroom.
