I have presented Junior Achievement (JA) programs at this school for almost 3 years now across all…read moregrades at this school. I do not have any children attending the school, but my experience with JA here has given me a unique opportunity to observe the students, teachers and staff at St Emily. One would be hard pressed to find a school that could offer a better experience for their child than St Emily's does. The teachers and staff are caring individuals who are clearly dedicated to the education and welfare of the students. It is evident in viewing the organization of the classrooms and the demeanor of the students that everyone there is dedicated to ensuring that students grow and learn. The school emits a positive atmosphere that is most evident in watching the interaction among students and staff. Disrespect is seldom seen here. And one thing that really amazes me is when I see older students communicating with younger students in a caring, interested manner. On numerous occasions I have seen older students asking the younger ones how they are doing or feeling and the students carrying on peer to peer conversations regardless of their age or grade differences. "Bullying" just isn't part of the process or vocabulary here. For me, this school is the closest to the education I received in the public schools in Oak Park many years ago - an education I have treasured all my life. And while the teachers can knock their socks off trying to educate their students, credit also needs to go to the parents for the positive atmosphere too - manners and discipline start in the home! So thumbs up to the entire St. Emily family - you're doing a fantastic job f or the future of the children at your school.

New Connections - Palatine (Parent of a Currently Enrolled Student)…read moreMy child has been enrolled at NCA Palatine since 2020, and the school has truly been a game changer. Before coming to NCA, my child attended two of the top public school SPED programs in the area -- from push-in to pull-out services, and even self-contained classrooms. Unfortunately, not all students can thrive in their home school environment due to challenges like integration with the general education population, the level of support needed, and the availability of specialized staff. After doing extensive research on outplacement options, I chose NCA Palatine. Like any major transition, the adjustment took time. I questioned myself, the district, and even the NCA staff on more than one occasion. But every time, I received reassurance, thoughtful feedback, and clear action steps that led to real, meaningful improvements. Success at this school truly depends on collaboration between all parties involved, and the staff here genuinely understands that. They actively seek family input and value parent perspectives. Class sizes are small -- typically no more than 10 students -- with one teacher and two program assistants. Beyond the classroom, there's a strong team of support professionals, including multiple therapists, behavior specialists (RIS), and an outstanding administrative team. Without a doubt, this school has had the most significant impact on my child's education and development. For the first time in our child's life, we've found a community that genuinely cares and is committed to making the world a better place for our kids
