Latin School of Chicago:
Latin School of Chicago located adjacent to Lincoln Park on the North Side is an independent, coeducational college preparatory school for students in junior kindergarten through grade twelve. Latin is the oldest independent school in the city of Chicago. The school was designed to provide students with a rigorous college-preparatory education in the classical tradition, with a curriculum that was heavily influenced by Classical studies and the study of the Greek and Latin languages, hence the name “Latin School." Latin is still taught at the school today and is offered starting in sixth-grade.

This academic load is balanced by a wide array of outside opportunities to play sports; be in the Middle School play; participate on a competitive math, science, or chess team; work on the student newspaper; perform in the band or chorus; be a member of student government; do community service; or participate in any number of other activities. Latin School of Chicago is accredited by the Illinois State Board of Education, by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS) and a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).

Courses / Programs:

Computer and technology skills are taught throughout the Middle and Upper School years.
