Why SAC

WE ARE SUCCEEDING BECAUSE:

Small school & classes: Small class size improves student outcomes, grades, and test scores. Small classes allow each child to be seen as a unique, whole person, with his or her own learning style and pattern of growth.

Curriculum: SAC students study a rigorous computer and internet integrated curriculum in math and science.

Extra curriculum: SAC students participate in after school programs including clubs, tutoring, and advanced study teams.

Individual performance: SAC sets goals for students on an individual basis. Learning activities include both cooperative learning (groups) and individual projects.

Parent involvement: SAC believes that a large portion of student’s success involves a joint effort between the student – parent – teacher triad. At SAC, your opinions count and your contributions are valued.

Dedicated subject teachers: At our unique school, students have different teachers for each subject area. Each student learns from highly qualified teachers who teach their area of specialization.

Access to the student records via the Internet: The teachers in Science Academy of Chicago utilizes an online grading database system designed by Concept Schools. Teachers, parents and students can access their records at Grades Online.
