Kankakee, IL•
Private School•
PK, K-12
Parent: In June 2016, our family moved to Kankakee. My husband was hired as a Spanish and P.E. teacher at Grace Christian Academy. We do not have family in this area so moving to this area could have been very challenging. But it was so amazing the way this community loved and welcomed our family. This transition had many difficult challenges for us because we were coming from Ecuador where we have been serving as missionaries. This whole school community helped us in so many ways in this transition. Our oldest son started Pre-Kindergarten and is now in 4th Grade. He has learned so much, not just academically but also learning GOD's truth. Our two younger boys started Preschool here and are now in Kindergarten and 2nd Grade. I have enjoyed watching my sons build great relationships with their teachers, staff, and friends in school. Grace Christian Academy is a strong community focusing on family. We are so thankful the Lord brought us here! We love our Grace Christian Academy!... Read 29 reviews

Senior: I love that Bishop McNamara High School is a smaller school because it allows a closer bond with teachers and more access to help when needed. The teachers in general are very engaged with their students which I love and they try and make education more of a fun learning experience than sitting at a desk all day. The teachers here always try there best to go along with the learning techniques that each student has and they take many hours out of there day to help students after school. And I also love the fact that the teachers and staffs' goal for us, there students, is to succeed and graduate with our best potential.... Read 54 reviews

Parent: Both of our kids started at The New School in ninth grade, after eight years of public school. It was one of the best parenting decisions we've ever made. Everything about this school is terrific. The teachers are passionate, inspired, and inspiring. Small, topics-driven, seminar-style classes foster creativity and independent thinking, while the welcoming atmosphere makes everyone feel at home. Our two kids turned out to be very different kinds of learners, but both thrived at The New School. Our youngest graduates next year, and we'll be sad to think of not having that day-to-day connection. Can't say enough about this wonderful school!... Read 26 reviews

Parent: My children have been attending Riverdale for the past 7 years and we have been extremely pleased with the level of education our little ones receive. The teachers are knowledgeable and caring, the classes are small, and the administration is responsive. Your child isn’t just a number at Riverdale, they’re family. I would highly suggest this school for anyone looking to place their child at a school that will allow your child to flourish!... Read 141 reviews

Parent: City Day has had a transformative impact on our son. He disliked school before we enrolled him at City Day. Within days of starting there (as a fourth-grader), his confidence and mood improved exponentially. The teachers are demanding, and also smart, caring and attentive. The program mixes traditional academics with innovative tech/design experiences and numerous field trips. The campus is a delight. We couldn’t be happier or more grateful to have found this learning community!... Read 14 reviews
