Roosevelt Campus News: Save the Date!

We are thrilled to share an update on our new Roosevelt Campus!  As we relayed to you at the Spring All-Parent meeting, we had been completing the details of our financing and working toward final design drawings and permits for the new building, in preparation for our new campus.  We are pleased to share that we closed on the construction loan and purchase of the property at 6936-6950 West Roosevelt Road.  Now the real work and the fun begin. 

Our groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for Friday, August 24th at 12:30 pm at the building site on Roosevelt Road.  Our entire Alcuin community and the greater Oak Park community are invited to join us as we celebrate the incredible milestone in our school’s 56-year history.  Bulley & Andrews will join us with their trucks and equipment so the children can climb in and get the construction work started.  Shovels and hard hats will be on hand as we literally break ground on a new beginning.  After the ceremony, parents, children, and friends are invited to Maple Park for a picnic and further celebration.  Hot dogs and cake will be plentiful!
Our building on Roosevelt will be home to a much needed All-Year Infant and Toddler program.  We are excited to launch this new program designed to meet the needs of our youngest community members.  It will serve as the bedrock of our Montessori program and the true beginning of a child's journey through Alcuin.

In addition to the new construction, we will also be renovating the existing building on the new campus.  The renovated one-story building will serve our ever-growing Middle School program.

Construction on both buildings is set to begin in early September with a very tight construction schedule of seven months. The project is set to be completed in late April 2019, barring any major complications.

If you have an infant or young toddler, or have friends and families with young children, please help spread the word about our upcoming program.  Please contact the Alcuin office for more information.  All of our current programs (Toddler – Senior Elementary) will remain at the Main Campus at 324 N Oak Park Avenue.

We look forward to seeing you on August 24th for the groundbreaking ceremony and to celebrate this incredible time in Alcuin’s history. 

Best wishes for a bright future with the Alcuin Community!
