All I can say is I love this school. I sent my grandson to private schools throughout his entire…read morelife and, frankly, he is a bit of a problem. I worried about sending him to a public high school, but let me tell you, I wish I had known earlier what a great school this is. They immediately formed a safety net that I could not have even begun to picture in my own head. In spite of the fact that they've lost 20 teachers and staff because of cutbacks, they have been ready and willing to help my grandson get through school. The place is well ordered, the teachers are terrific, and staff and security couldn't be better for friendlier.

Yeah, this is where all my acting up and mis-behaving in school started. I can't blame the…read moreschool- even back in the 70s when it was new they did some pretty neat stuff, and had some great teachers! Mr. Whitman was my 1st grade teacher- he took the time to teach us all how to play chess! He was totally "searching for Bobby Fischer!" We had great big vinyl chess boards, big pieces, and he'd get on the overhead projector and have this little chess board transparency, and he'd show us the moves. At the end of 1st grade we were playing legitimate chess games, even if we were too young to understand any real chess strategy. Mr. Clair used to tell us great stories in 2nd grade- everybody loved that guy! Too bad the school was so stuffed we got stuck taking classes in "the mobiles." Mobile homes- haha. Mr. Lucier was a nice principal- he played ukulele at school events all the time! I was sent to his office lots of times for getting in trouble, and he always pointed out the nice picture he had on his wall that my well behaved older sister had painted when she went to Dirksen. Miss Schumacher was HOT! They had a "gifted" program where some of us selected few would be picked up by the 'tard cart and taken to a separate school- all the dist. 54 grade schools fed the program. I hated getting teased for being picked up by the stubby bus for that, and the actual gifted program was no fun. The teachers there tried so hard to engage us it felt demeaning somehow... I knock one star off for Mrs. Nank. That fat old battle-ax would beg cookies out of the lunches of her 4th graders! Worse- she's beg back and shoulder massages from us! I was so completely disgusted by her behavior... Words can't describe.

What I'm really hoping is someone from my era will remember me & want to reconnect - like Mark S, sounds like we'd have been at the same time.

It's a nice intimate space that I think helps the audience appreciate the efforts and intensity of the music. The school interior is like no other I have seen, with a strong arts focus and paintings covering every wall, if only I could have gone to a school like this...I would have been even more creative! A great community resource in a great location.

The in class portion and the on-line component actually ensure that you learn about what you need to know..not just memorize facts and hope that they're on the test. Make sure to look at the salt and pepper shaker collection in the back of the classroom in river grove, it's amazing! The prices are much more reasonable than anywhere else I've looked and the entertainment and actually learning are more than worth your dollar.

That is key to me because the subject matter for state insurance exams is rather dry and dull but he manages to make things interesting and keep your attention throughout the session. I have not experienced a different Insurance training company but these guys do such a great job that I could care less about using a different agency. If you need to get your pre-licensing training for IL Life or Health or CE it really doesn't get any better then Dohrn.
