Mission Statement

At the elementary level, it is critical to develop learners who explore, inquire and are able to work collaboratively to construct knowledge and develop skills. At EECS it is not enough to learn concepts from books and memorize facts. It is necessary to approach all content areas from both a foundation of discipline-specific knowledge and an inquiry-based, hands-on approach.

ENROLLMENT

We are a public school open to any child that lives in the city of Chicago. Our kindergarten admission procedures require an application to be filled out. Once the deadline for applications has passed, if we have more applications than we do open slots, we hold a public lottery. Any child not admitted to our school through the lottery, automatically gets placed on the wait list. We do take applications throughout the year for all grade levels. If we are fully enrolled, then we will put students on the wait list.

Currently we have open enrollment for grades K, 1, 2, and 4. If you are interested, please come in to fill out an application at the school.

Applications for school year 2009-2010 will be available in December 2008.
