Wilmette, Illinois Tutoring Programs

Get started with SchoolTutoring Academy's tutoring programs for Wilmette, Illinois students.

Wilmette District and Curriculum

The curriculum is based on the Illinois Common Core Standards for mathematics and English language arts and the Next Generation Science Standards. These standards are intended to ensure that students receive a quality, competitive education regardless of where they live or any learning differences. The curriculum ensures that students meet similarly high standards emphasizing skills students need to succeed in college and the professional world.

We currently cover the following Wilmette-area school districts: Wilmette Public School District 39, Avoca West School District 37, and New Trier Township High School District 203.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Wilmette District Curriculum

The Common Core uses formative standards so students are prepared for post-secondary education and the workforce. In English Language Arts and other humanities classes, the curriculum focuses on persuasive and analytic writing and reading complex texts, primarily nonfiction. Students are taught to be critical readers and effective writers, and develop strong research skills so they can gather information, analyze it, and use it to support their claims while building arguments.

In Math, the focus is on fundamental skills and concepts which are essential for students to master before moving on to higher-level reasoning. Because mathematics is the cornerstone of much of science, the curriculum attempts to give students opportunities to apply their knowledge to real-world problems and challenges. In science classes, students examine the world around them. They focus on necessary ideas which will serve them throughout their academic and work careers.

Chalk Talk: Early Application Deadlines

Early application deadlines are a hot trend amongst college applicants. Many colleges offer early admissions options, which can have positive and negative consequences. One positive is that the student is competing against fewer applicants. Though this is true, more and more students are applying early, so this is becoming less true. Another positive is that the student demonstrates interest in the college by applying early. A possible downside is that the student might rush his/her application in order to get it in on time. Some schools are pushing their deadlines to as early as mid-October, which can be very stressful for students. This has a ripple effect which might endanger the student’s class performance. Another possible downside is that some early applications are binding, which could mean the student ends up receiving a better offer from a different school (in terms of financial aid) but can’t accept it. Early applications do tend to have higher acceptance rates, and can be very helpful, but it can also be in the student’s best interest to wait and take his/her time when applying.
