Niles, Illinois Tutoring Programs
Get started with SchoolTutoring Academy's tutoring programs for Niles, Illinois students.
Niles District and Curriculum
The schools follow the Illinois Common Core curriculum which is intended to instill a lifetime appreciation of learning in students and prepare them for post-secondary education and the work force in an increasingly global economy by encouraging them to take responsibility for their own learning. Students are expected to comprehend and utilize a core body of knowledge and skills throughout the curriculum. The curriculum also recognizes the importance of students interests and establishes objectives in popular subjects like the arts and technology that can help a student prepare for college work in those subjects.
We currently cover the following Niles-area school districts: East Maine School District 63, Niles Elementary School District 71, and Park Ridge-Niles School District 64.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Niles District Curriculum
Students read and evaluate nonfiction and complex texts for comprehension and synthesis, and write essays using a variety of techniques, resources, and technology to gather information. They are expected to collect, organize, analyze, and retain information. Students are encouraged to use critical and analytic thinking to solve problems, and apply acquired knowledge to life experiences. Students are expected to become effective communicators who write clearly and expressively, and speak effectively.
In Mathematics and Science classes, students focus on understanding and applying key concepts to real-world problems and situations. Students use critical thinking skills to observe and understand the world around them. Students are also expected to become responsible individuals who demonstrate ethical behavior, accept responsibility for their actions, and act according to the principles of socially responsible citizens who demonstrate respect for all.

Chalk Talk: College Application Deadlines
Colleges usually have more than one deadline for applicants, and each deadline has a different use. Early deadlines, such as Early Action and Early Decision, are for very interested students who want to get their applications finished. These are highly competitive applications, but there are advantages to getting them done early; aside from the peace of mind of being finished, early applicants are competing against fewer other applicants. Most colleges will stagger these application dates through November and December. The Regular Decision deadline used to be December 1st for many colleges, but because of all of these early options, many colleges and universities have moved this dead line back to January, even February. The one hard and fast rule to remember about deadlines is that even though there are options for different ones, they do matter. Colleges will not consider your application if it isn’t submitted on time.
