HIGH SCHOOL WEBINAR: EDUCATING MIDDLE SCHOOL PARENTS
Grace Lee Sawin from Chicago School GPS presented an overview of the high school selection process in Chicago, covering both public and private school options. She explained the CPS application process, including selective enrollment schools, choice programs, and the tier system, as well as the private school application process. Grace emphasized the importance of finding the right school fit for each student and highlighted the role of IEPs in the application process. She also discussed the differences between AP and IB programs, noting that CPS only considers core subject grades for admissions. The presentation concluded with tips for families on when to start researching schools and the role of Chicago School GPS in supporting families through the process.
Katie Berger and the Davis School Chicago board hosted a presentation with Tony and Ron Huberman to discuss the development of a new Jewish high school in Chicago. Tony explained that the school, which will serve grades 9-12, aims to be one of the best high schools in the United States while providing Jewish education rooted in values. Ron detailed the educational approach, which will blend traditional academics with competency-based models that allow students to progress at their own pace. The school will be open to students of all faiths and will offer Judaics courses along with a comprehensive college counseling program. Key features discussed included personalized learning approaches, state-of-the-art facilities including an impressive theater, and a focus on both Jewish identity and academic excellence. The school plans to open in Fall 2027, with tour dates to be announced soon, and will offer need-based scholarships and sibling preferences for enrollment.

FEATURED SPEAKER GRACE LEE SAWIN
Chicago School GPS was started by 3 Chicago moms who firmly believe that the vibrancy, culture, opportunities and unique setting of Chicago makes it an ideal place to raise our families. Throughout the years, Grace has seen the school choice landscape change in Chicago with more options for all types of students. She thrives on uncovering these nuggets of wisdom and "hidden" info that others simply don't have time to uncover. She also is excited to share that info with you as she firmly believes a great education is a right, not a privilege. It just so happens in the City of Chicago, it's a "right" that takes an inordinate amount of research.
