Long Grove District and Curriculum
The districts which Long Grove students attend follow the Illinois Learning Standards (ILS) which establish the elements of what students should know and be able to do in each of their subjects. The ILS incorporates Common Core Standards in Math and Language Arts and Next Generation Science Standards which covers a wider range of STEM topics. The schools also offer programs in world languages and the arts, and students have access to a wide array of co-curricular opportunities. The co-curricular groups have been established to give students additional educational experiences in areas they are considering for college or career.
We currently cover the following Long Grove-area school districts: Diamond Lake School District #76, Fremont School District #79, Kildeer Countryside Community Consolidated School District #96, Mundelein School District #120, and Stevenson School District #125.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Long Grove District Curriculum
The Math curriculum is designed so that elementary and middle school students are introduced to problem-solving methods in all math topics and then later hone in on each area to develop advanced problem-solving skills. In addition to traditional algebra and geometry, the Math standards call for students to learn how to work with mathematical functions and models as they work through problems. They are expected to extrapolate or predict data based on models, and be able to determine the most efficient way to solve problems.
The English language arts curriculum lays a foundation for all the literacy and communication skills that students will use throughout their education. Reading instruction has increased the amount of non-fiction that students read so that they become familiar with analyzing informational texts and learning how to recognize the author’s intent or bias. This is a different way of comprehending literary works in which students study the craft and literary techniques, analyze and interpret possible meanings, and construct thematic meaning.

Chalk Talk: Early Decision
Early Decision (ED) is a type of college application distinguished by being early, usually due November 1st, and being binding, which means students must sign a contract agreeing to attend the college if accepted. There are many possible benefits for Early Decision applicants. Because they’re early applications, students compete against fewer other applicants. Also, colleges tend to favor Early Decision applicants because the students have demonstrated a commitment to the college by applying Early Decision. Therefore, Early Decision applications have higher acceptance rates, sometimes significantly higher, than Regular Decision. One downside of Early Decision is that, since they’re binding, students can’t back out of attending. Even if they are offered a better financial aid package from another college.
