Testimonials

I love this school. My daughter learned a lot in a year. The improvement in her academic level was amazing. Pros: Small class size, affordable price, kind staff, accelerated curriculum, diverse demographics Cons: The building in Niles was small and not efficient. But, they’re moving to Mt. Prospect this year and if they can finish on time, the new building will be amazing.

My son has been attending for one year now and just thrives under the open, rich and nurturing environment here. The school is quiet, sparkling clean and spacious. The students are sweet, happy and very well mannered. My wife and I cannot wait to enroll our younger son here too! Highly recommended!

SAC is without a doubt a great school. The principal cares immensely about each and every student. The faculty are dedicated and wonderful with the children. The kids want to come to school and have fun learning. I feel confident dropping our child off at SAC in the morning because I know she is in a safe, loving and caring environment. They make learning fun and encourage each child to be the best they can be. I love SAC and I think the faculty are remarkable!

My son is at the SAC and I feel that the school is an example of a high achieving school. It’s a very caring environment with pressure and kids and parents to do their best. I believe my son is very fortunate to be there. The only thing I would like to see improve is I would like to see more Sports.

We have three children at SAC , this is our third year. SAC has had the best communication we have ever experienced with taechers, staff and principle. Any concerns we have are listened to, and together we formulate plans to make things better. The teachers show they really care about your child. I hope prospective parents come visit the school, try a shadow day, and talk to parents currently at the school, to find out if SAC is right for them. Our curriculum is challanging, but the teachers go out of their way to make sure everybody learns with a smile on their face. SAC is part of our family!!!

We’ve been with SAC for 6 years and we LUV it! Reading the negative reviews left by another parent makes me feel bad for them as chances are they never took advantage of everything SAC has to offer. The teachers are A+ in their fields and our children are for the most part a full year ahead of other schools. For those needing extra help, tutoring is offered for them free of charge after school and teachers encourage it. We have “many” students who participate in out of state Math, Science and Language competitions. Needless to say, if the parents aren’t willing to participate; how can the school at fault? Parent interaction is top notch, whenever we have events whether they are held during the evenings or weekends we “always” have a 98% participation from our students AND our parents. Our principal strict yet charismatic towards his students, parents and staff is always available and eager to hear our concerns and ideas. Where else would I send my children? If it’s not Science Academy of Chicago it would be homeschooling because I don’t think there’s another school out there like ours!

We all need care and love. Especially our kids need more than us. This is the place where you will find care and love. Teachers are so passionate about their duty. When I enrolled my son here from the first week realized the happiness in the faces students. I said why everybody looks happy and good here. I asked a staff why this is. They would say this our regular day. Beside the challenging curriculum and best material, some stuff comes first, like love, care and passion, though they have it. We love here, my son loves here. We are very happy with this school.

This school is wonderful. They challenge students a lot, and I believe children benefit. The classrooms are small so the students get lots of individual attention. There is a lot of love and respect for each child and they are supported and uplifted for who they are as people. My son is laerning so much and advancing so well, I am more than pleased he is in the care of such wonderful people as Science Academy and her staff.

SAC is great school. Teachers are energetic and full of great new ideas.Teachers seem to so committed to the success of each indivdual child. Administration is professional and also very committed. Always feel welcomed when I go into the office. The transition for my child into the 6th grade was smooth because of the committment and dedication of all staff members. Thank you SAC and keep up the great work!!
