Cursive writing is part of the grade 3 curriculum at City Day, even in this era of taps and clicks. The class not only teaches students to read and write cursive script, but also helps enhance fine-motor and critical thinking skills, teachers say.

Each year, Chicago City Day School graduates attend different types of high schools — independent, parochial, and selective-enrollment public schools among them.

At City Day, our students learn science by doing. During their field work this fall in and near the Chicago River, students helped restore prairie areas and assessed the river's water quality, along the way discovering just how important that kind of work is.

One of the powerful benefits of our JK-through-grade-8 model is the fact that older students can become true leaders on campus. Here is a nice example of how we build that idea into our students. #mentors #leadership #elementaryschool #chicagoschools #privateschool #fourthgrade #kidnergarten

City Day ties academic subjects together so students can study concepts and approach problems via multiple lenses.
