Chicago School Choice

Like many other Chicago parents, you have questions about which school is right for your child. Our year-long series will give you the answers you seek about your Chicago school options. We have invited experienced parents, school choice experts, and school representatives to participate in lively and informative sessions about the process of selecting a school. During 2012, we will dive deep into Chicago Public Schools options while also exploring private and parochial schools.

Join NPN & PREP Chicago for our next Chicago School Search event!

What is a magnet school?

How can I prepare my preschooler for Kindergarten?

What are private schools REALLY looking for?

How will the preschool my child attends affect his/her chances of gaining admission to kindergarten?

If these are questions that you have ever asked yourself or other parents, then we have the answers for you.  In this workshop, we will explore all of the things that you need to know about preparing yourself and your child for Kindergarten in the city of Chicago.  We will also explore the various philosophies of preschools and how that choice can affect your child's ability to gain admission into kindergarten.  We will cover the basics of the different types of public and private schools, their admissions and testing policies, and what you can do now to prepare your child.

Special thanks to PREP Chicago for presenting and Daystar Center for hosting. Thank you to Enterprise & Bum Bul Bee Photography for their support.
