What is your curriculum like? At Alcuin Montessori School, children learn at their own pace, immersing in subjects and activities designed to develop much more than academic skills. They develop a love of learning that prepares them to excel in the next level of education and beyond. It's no surprise that a large percentage of our graduates take advanced placement courses in high school. Click here to view our Curriculum Benchmark Document. Click here to read our Middle School FAQ. What is your admissions process? Our admissions process is laid out fully here. Are you accredited?
How many classrooms do you have? We have three Primary (ages 3-6) rooms, two Junior Elementary (1st-3rd grade), one Senior Elementary (4th-6th grade), and one Middle School (7th and 8th grade). Does my three-year-old need to be potty trained? Yes, students in the Primary program must be potty trained. My child has a food allergy. How do you handle that? For the safety of all children, Alcuin is a nut-free building. Additionally, children who require epi-pens must bring two to the school (one for the office and one for the classroom) along with an allergy action plan. For children with multiple allergies or more complicated cases, a parent/teacher meeting is had prior to their start. Do you offer before and after care? Yes, we have before care from 7:15-8:30 a.m. and after care from 11:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m. and 3:00-6:00 p.m. Additionally, elementary rooms have the option to drop-in to after care by purchasing a time card. Where do your grads go after Alcuin? Oak Park/River Forest, Trinity High School, Fenwick High School, Nazareth Academy High School, Chicago Academy for the Performing Arts, Lake Forest Academy, Whitney Young High School, St. Ignatius College Prep, Guerin College Prep, Naperville Township High School, Ogden International School of Chicago.

How do I submit the application? The application is submitted online here. What is the application fee? The application fee is $100 and $50 for each sibling application. One application per child. An application without a fee is not considered active. I still have some admissions questions. Please contact our Associate Director, Alejandra Valera, and she will be happy to help you.
