Chester District and Curriculum
The mission of Chester Community Unit School District No. 139 is to provide a quality education for all students in a safe environment that develops the academic, social, and critical thinking skills necessary to become responsible and contributing members of our changing society. All students should be provided opportunities to succeed, and by utilizing a strong and comprehensive curriculum through the Illinois Learning Standards, all students are guaranteed a college and career preparatory learning experience. 21st century and college and career standards are also a part of the curriculum’s scope.
We currently cover the following Chester-area school district: Chester Community Unit School District No. 139.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Chester District Curriculum
The Illinois Learning Standards curriculum is rigorous and well-researched and provides challenging coursework for students with clear expectations of the skills and knowledge they should acquire by the end of each year. The curriculum is also supportive and fair, with teachers being encouraged to tailor their lessons to fit the individual needs of students, whether they need to be challenged with advanced coursework or they need help to catch up to grade level, and teachers provide interventions when necessary.
Classes focus on critical thinking skills across the curriculum as well as analytical writing skills. Reading is focused on both literary and informational texts so students have the necessary analytic skills to comprehend each. Students are also given many extracurricular opportunities to further their development, from men’s and women’s club and varsity sports, to performing arts and music, clubs, and community service. Well-rounded, engaged students are more likely to become engaged adults who take control of their own lives and achieve success.

Chalk Talk: Fast Aps
Fast Aps are shortened applications that offer a quick decision. Usually, the only real requirements are the application itself, which might contain one brief essay, the transcript, and standardized test scores. The school promises to reach a decision usually within a few weeks. Usually, nothing else is required, and the application fee is often waived. These are high-volume applications usually offered by state schools. If a student fits the profile in terms of GPA and test scores, but isn’t strong enough to warrant applying for Honors or other special programs, Fast Aps can be a no-brainer. They’re easier, cheaper, and quicker. If a student is on the borderline, though, a Fast Ap probably isn’t a good idea. Some of those other documents that aren’t part of the application—like recommendations, additional essays, or doing an interview—can really help push the student over that line into being accepted, and a Fast Ap could be disastrous.
