The curriculum follows the Illinois Common Core Curriculum, so students are expected to understand and apply a core body of knowledge and skills across the curriculum and take responsibility for their own learning. In humanities classes, students read for comprehension and synthesis and learn to evaluate sources and gather information to support their written arguments in essays. Students are taught to be critical thinkers who evaluate and refine strategies for solving problems.

Students are also expected to treat themselves and others respectfully and accept constructive criticism.

Chalk Talk: Types of Applications

There are four main types of college applications, each with their own quirks and advantages. The simplest type is Regular Decision. The deadline for Regular Decision might be as late as March 1st, or sometimes even later. Students simply apply with no special accommodations, though students might have to wait quite a while to receive a response. Rolling applications are applications that can be sent at just about any time. They tend to have a very quick turnaround, usually three weeks. Early Action applications have an early deadline. Because they’re early, fewer other applicants will have applied, which means the pool of competitors is smaller. Restricted Early Action is a rare kind of Early Action application in which the student is only allowed to apply to one school. Once a decision has been made, the student is then free to apply to other schools or accept an offer of admission. Early Decision applications are binding, early applications, which means the student agrees to attend that college if accepted.
