McHenry, Illinois Tutoring Programs
Get started with SchoolTutoring Academy's tutoring programs for McHenry, Illinois students.
McHenry District and Curriculum
The curriculum followed by these schools is based on the Illinois Common Core Standards which establish a clear set of expectations for what students should know in English language arts and mathematics at the end of each grade level, and requires that all students meet similarly high standards. Students also have many career oriented programs in high school to choose from that combine traditional learning with their professional goals.
We currently cover the following McHenry-area school districts: McHenry School District 15 and McHenry Community High School District 156.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the McHenry District Curriculum
The Common Core emphasizes skills that students need to succeed in college and the professional world and is competitive with international standards so that students will be well-equipped to compete in today’s global economy. The hope is that the curriculum will prepare students for post-secondary education and the workforce.
In English language arts, the curriculum focuses on reading nonfiction and writing analytical essays in order to help students develop the ability to gather information and use evidence to support their claims while also expanding their vocabularies while becoming critical readers and persuasive writers. In mathematics, the curriculum focuses on fewer specific topics studied in depth during the year, beginning with basic concepts like numbers and operation, so that students master the foundations of mathematics before progressing to more advanced topics in high school. Students are asked to apply their math skills to real-world challenges.

Chalk Talk: Rolling vs. Regular Decision
There are many different kinds of college applications with different deadlines and requirements, and each has its own benefits and possible drawbacks. One of the most hassle-free application types is the Rolling Decision application. Colleges set deadlines for Regular Decision or early applications, and even if a student sends in an application earlier than the deadline, the school won’t read it until the deadline has passed. Rolling applications are different, though; the college, in this instance, agrees to read the application as soon as it’s received, and will often respond with a decision within two to three weeks. Not every school offers Rolling applications, and those that do tend not to be incredibly selective schools, though they are often moderately selective. Rolling is a great option for students because they can often have a decision quickly enough that they might not need to apply to other colleges.
