The local school districts see their mission as being to provide each student with ore values, knowledge, and skills in order that they may thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and physically in our diverse world; to develop character; and to help students achieve their full potential in their personal and professional lives. By maintaining high academic standards, accountability, and promoting a safe, caring environment, the school challenges its students to become self-directed learners and global citizens with the ability to utilize solid literacy skills and competencies to enrich their lives with their workplace, community, and family.
We currently cover the following Markham-area school districts: Hazel Crest SD 152 1/2 and Prairie-Hills ESD 144.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Markham District Curriculum
The curriculum of draws from the Illinois Common Core Standards in English, humanities, and math. Science classes follow the Next Generation Science Standards. The purpose of these internationally referred and researched standards is to ensure that all students receive a strong, competitive education with many opportunities to succeed. In all high school subjects, the content vocabulary in the classes will be more numerous and difficult compared to that of elementary school and middle school. Students will also have to perform various assessments including more lengthy essays and project-based assessments.
Emphasis is placed on critical thinking skills, analytical writing, and real-world applications of lessons. It is hoped that students will take an interest in their own learning and will become life-long learners who are self-guided and engaged in the world around them.

Chalk Talk: Financial Aid Tips
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step in applying for financial aid. Even if a student doesn’t want loans, most colleges base their aid packages on the information they receive from the FAFSA. But this is just the beginning of the process. The most important thing is to be in contact with the financial aid department at the college of interest for several reasons. One, they may have information or insight into other financial aid options. Two, if there’s a problem such as a gap between the amount offered and the amount needed, it’s important to have an established relationship to try to work this out. Maybe there’s an aspect of the situation that the FAFSA didn’t deal with, like a change in income, for example. At very least, the financial aid department can help work out payment plans to ensure that the student’s education isn’t interrupted.
