I would appreciate any advice I could get on a excellent private elementary school for my daughter. She is now in kindergarten and we may send her to public school but i sill want to look into options. I looked up on the internet and I found: Meritor Schools, Waldorf, All Saints Catholic Academy and Chesterbook. Have you heard god or bad things about any of those? Could you recommend any other school in or near Naperville? Thank you!
Try Naperville Christian Academy. I think their website is ncaclassical.org
If you can send your kids to a Waldorf school they will get an amazing education in a loving, nurturing environment. I studied them in an Educational Psychology class and was so impressed with them and I plan to send my kids there.
Otherwise, Calvary is great too if south west Naperville is workable. I have friends who send their kids there and the love it.
Good luck!
Avery Coonley School in Downers Grove is one of the best private schools around. I went there when I was younger, along with my brother and sister, and the education and teacher to student ratio can't be beat.
I would highly recomend Bethany Lutheran School in Naperville.
I just relocated to Illinois so my son could attend Four Winds Waldorf School. It is really worth looking into. The way the Waldorf Schools teach is so different than anything I have ever seen and my son, who is 4 1/2, loves it there. He was previously attending a Montessori School in Florida and that was nice but we felt that the Waldorf school was a better choice for us and we are so happy that we found this beautiful school. Good Luck!
My oldest went to Meritor in Glen Ellyn when she was younger. We don't have experience with the Naperville location, specificaly. But it is a good strong program. The company is owned by Children's World, I believe. The only problem I had with them is they only go up to 5th grade. But that may be comparable with other private schools.
