    Do not send your student of color here! I had so many racist encounters here. A teacher smelled my…read morehair in front of the entire class because she was "curious", a student drew a swastika on the bottom of her shoe my freshman year, and some of my classmates were called the N-word along with it being said on several other occasions. Many of the Muslim students were made fun of for their religious beliefs. I was told that my hair was "sassy" by a classmate by sophomore year, whatever that means. Dr. Allworth did absolutely nothing when she was informed about it and her only solution was to put up posters around the school reminding students not to say the N-word instead of just holding the students who were saying it accountable. If a student donates a lot of money to Regina and does anything wrong, they will never face the repercussions of their actions as the school does not want to risk losing their funding. Not to mention the fact that I was assumed to be there on scholarship on several occasions because they couldn't fathom the fact that I could afford to be there. A student told me that she would call her father who was a police officer on me because she felt like I was using my "black privilege". All in all, this is not a safe environment for students of color, and was an extremely traumatizing experience for me.

    We feel so lucky that we discovered Baker. When we walked into Baker for an open house, we…read moreimmediately sensed the warmth of the staff and parent community. Our family is a two-mom transracial adoptive family. We were blown away with how comfortable we felt. Baker truly welcomes everyone. The hands-on learning experiences meet the needs of each individual child which has led our son to love school both academically and socially. Baker teachers and staff are flexible, compassionate, engaging, creative leaders in the field of education. Furthermore, Baker has resources that many private schools do without. There is a full-time learning specialist, social worker, and a nurse. We needed a school that would accept and embrace our son's food allergies. Baker goes above and beyond to make each student feel safe and important. Coming from a family full of educators, we realize that while no school is perfect Baker is a true gem!

    Baker nurtures that spark for learning…read more We started at Baker last year. When district 65 wouldn't allow us to switch our assigned school, we realized just how curious we were to explore other options outside of district 65. We noted what we valued most in our kids schooling experience & as we heard really good things from others and read about Baker ourselves, it seemed to tick all the boxes... but on the website. And any website can say whatever it wants to say, but was there proof? Concrete proof of all the amazing claims? And tuition almost prevented us from taking a tour at all. But we had to just go see for ourselves. Once we toured, we were so excited and we just knew. The school is adorned with student creations and with self portraits and It's colorful! it's vibrant, it's lively. It's welcoming!! The energy is just good. Once we saw the classrooms, I knew I wanted my kids to go here. I wanted this to be their daily experience. The rooms have movement, they're (again) vibrant & lively. You WANT to learn in this space. I had toured our district school prior and I remember feeling anxious and so put off by how sterile and uniform and bland my sons kindergarten room was going to be. Like he's never going to sit still and shut up. And I don't want that for him. I knew if he wasn't stimulated enough & not challenged enough, he was going to act out. That his blossoming brilliance & sensitivity we see, would turn into goofiness & misbehavior. And my daughter would just be squashed & silenced by that method of teaching and atmosphere. That environment was going to kill the spark for learning for them. It would dim who they are. Environment MATTERS. The academic material is received so much better in a joyous, stimulating & nurturing environment. That is Baker. In our district school, I wondered... where's playfulness and joy and various charts and expression and tools for learning and learning through discovery and PLAY?? Baker is that. Baker values that. We value that! We have been at baker for a school year and a half now. During these extraordinarily fundamental years... the ones that shape their experience & relationship with schooling and academics for years to come , the years that shape confidence and self awareness and help establish their voice... these are the years I want them learning by exploring, by seeing and feeling and truly experiencing what they are learning vs the way I did ( and the most of us did) which was through our ability to regurgitate the material. The resources are outstanding. Our teachers have been extraordinary so far. My children are being nurtured. They're being taught well and excelling in all areas. They're overcoming challenges as well as being challenged. They are seen for who they are. They're thriving! And I see proof of that every single day. Baker is a community. I'm watching my kids cultivate community. Baker fosters that. I am proud to have my children at Baker. And I'm proud to share of my time, gifts and talents with Baker to help our school continue to grow, . I am proud to be as involved as I am. I'm invested! And genuinely interested in doing so. Despite running a small local business and having a family and all the time constraints and responsibilities like everyone else, l make time because this school matters to me. Because it matters to my husband. Because this school matters to my children. We are so fortunate to receive a scholarship to attend. So fortunate to be here. I always wanted to feel genuinely confident in our kids school and where they were going to be spending so so much of their time and who with. I love this school. I love the people who make up Bakers teachers and staff. As parents we are acknowledged and heard. As parents, we notice so many other parents genuinely involved in school. Invested in more ways than one. Again, community. A strong ever growing & involved community. I don't know what middle school is like or any of the other grades. However, I can confidently speak on our personal experience with lower school. And we have been thrilled. No school is perfect. Not even this one. But this one is really really good for our family right now. And we're so happy to be a part of it

As a teacher, I definitely feel like I know what to examine when deciding upon a school. I visited a number of private schools, but when I toured St. Joseph, I felt such a great vibe & I just knew. I visited multiple classrooms in multiple grade levels. Students were engaged in learning in EVERY room in entered (speaking from experience, this is not something you can train kids to fake for a tour). Entering our 4th year at the school, it's everything I hoped it would be. There's such a sense of community at St. Joseph. The way younger students are paired up with an older buddy really developed a sense of belonging from the start. My kids are constantly learning, integrating technology in their learning, and most importantly happy! There are a million opportunities to get involved in extra-curricular activities & as a working parent, I love that before & after-school care is reasonably priced & available at the school. I really have nothing but great things to say about St. Joseph. If you're looking for a fabulous school with a great community feel, I highly recommend you visit and check it out for yourself!

Only relying on other teachers, an answer key and a textbook for us to learn from instead of them. As well as the 8th grade science teacher. One was very fun to talk to, yet the other teacher couldn't teach at all, relying on the internet and is always on "G-chat". In my opinion, the 6th grade science teacher would always complain for the smallest things that we did although we were barely pre-teens then. Always pointing at the board, showing off her nails. If I had the chance, I would walk away from this school during breaks. We can't forget the art teacher. Rumors about him liking younger human beings and always records and takes pictures at kids without their consent. Seems pretty weird if you ask me... And this school reeked with horrible smells. Someone needs to start cleaning the 7th grade hallway or use febreeze!! Now the the P.E. teachers, there was one man that would make a bit upset. He doesn't understand how it feels to go through menstruation and says " exercise makes it better" but as soon as I exercise, I start feeling crippled even more with pain and have to be escorted. That made me feel "real good"... Overall, the vice principal needs to start hiring actual good teachers unlike these. There's a reason why many people don't like this school and are excited to leave.

Beacon opened on Monday, August 25th, 2014 to a new freshman and sophomore class. Beacon has a tremendously dedicated staff and faculty. The team has been assembled from both the Chicago/Evanston area and other places across the U.S. to create a visionary school that others will use as a model for the future. Jeff Bell, Kate Anderson and others have worked hard for many years to reach this historic milestone. The mayor, alderman and others in the city met the staff and students for the ribbon cutting ceremony on the 25th. It's a remarkable achievement and one that I am very excited to be part of. Our daughter is one of the 30+ pioneers embarking on an amazing journey of learning, leadership and community. I highly encourage you to visit and welcome Beacon to the area!

I was looking for a small school with a personal touch. My son was an incoming Junior and they said they would waive the language requirement. a year later they sprung on me in August, that they would not waive the requirement and he could nit graduate on time. They recommended that I move him to public school, so I did. After which they refused to refund my $16,000 payment for first semester Senior year. He didn't attend a single day. They also, harassed me for second semester payments with collection calls and refused to sign a social security form to help me get social security as a widow of 3 children. The head of school was incredibly degrading when I called her to discuss a possible refund. Beacon Academy claims to be a holistic approach and a caring environment. Don't buy it.

My sister and brother went to tour the school and my brother put in an application for his daughter as well. I called about 3 weeks in to ask why I hadn't heard anything back. The very rude secretary informed me it was because at the time I was out of state and they couldn't meet my son after she claimed she never received my application at all. I asked her why wasn't I contacted to let me know they needed to meet with my son. She said the principal would call me. The principal did not. I called a few days later and left another message. The principal finally called me a few days later but I missed the call as I was at work. I returned the call the next day and never heard back again. That was in May. It's now August. I got the distinct impression they were not at all interested in having us at their school. I found another great school for my kid and the whole process took about 2 weeks and they welcomed a visit with my son when we arrived in town. My sister reached out recently and she was told they couldn't accommodate her daughter. I called to find out why. The principal answered the phone this time. She was incredibly rude to me. When parents apply to an institution, we shouldn't be made to feel like we have to beg a school to take us in. I told her I found another school for my son since I never heard back from them. She was completely dismissive. As it stands, I've learned the school isn't very diverse so it probably wouldn't be a good fit for my kid anyway as he is a minority. I've never gone on social media to give any establishment a bad review but my experience with this school made me feel I had to.
