Crest Hill, Illinois Tutoring Programs

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

Crest Hill District and Curriculum

The curriculum is based on the Illinois Common Core standards for English Language Arts and Math, and the Next Generation Science Standards for Science. The curriculum emphasizes teaching key skills students need to succeed in college and the professional world. The Common Core is based on international standards so that students will be equipped to compete in a global economy and prepared for postsecondary education as well as the workforce. The district curriculum supports the belief that high expectations for students lead to achievement and character building.

We currently cover the following Crest Hill-area school districts: Chaney-Monge SD 88 and Richland GSD 88A.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Crest Hill District Curriculum

In Mathematics, the Common Core encourages a greater depth of instruction on topics such as numeracy, algebra and geometry, within a school year. In English language arts, the standards emphasize nonfiction and learning the process of writing. The hope is that this will develop students’ ability to gather information and use evidence to back their ideas.

Though some students have different learning styles and rates, the curriculum supports differentiated instruction and intervention and allows for extra time. But this is contingent upon students learning self-sufficiency, responsibility, and accountability while enabling students to take responsibility for their own learning by setting learning goals and tracking their progress. The curriculum also supports a safe, respectful, and nurturing learning environment which promotes the self-esteem and confidence necessary for post-secondary success.

Chalk Talk: Regular Decision vs. Rolling Applications

When considering the differences in college applications, one major factor is the deadline. Regular Decision (RD) applications are just that: regular. Their deadlines are usually the latest deadline offered by the college, which might even go as late as February or March. This means there is no special consideration given. This also means that the college most likely won’t read the application until the deadline, even if a student submits a RD application early, the college will simply hold it until the deadline. Rolling applications, on the other hand, are read immediately. Colleges usually respond to Rolling applications within two-three weeks of the date of receipt. A student could easily apply to one college RD, then apply to another college Rolling and hear back from the second college before the RD application has even been read. Of course, not every school offers Rolling applications, so this isn’t always an option.
