Jonathan Burr Elementary School

Sent our 3-year-old to Burr School for tuition-based pre-k last year and back again for this year. The cost is about $1500 a month and is well worth it!This class has been enormously helpful to our child's development. Social skills, handwriting, communication skills and so much more.We love how attentive the pre-k teachers are and I highly recommend the pre-k program to you and you 3-4 year olds!

One of the best Chicago Public Schools in the city's network. Solid teaching staff, younger staff that are still fresh and vivacious. The Principal Mr. Klee is very involved with the school, the events and functions as well as with the parents. They have a lot of extracurriculars for the kids including cooking classes, karate, art, tumbling, dance, girl scouts, ect. Japanese language is part of the curriculum as well. I have an older daughter with Special Needs and her teachers and aides are top notch, and really care about her progression to independence and learning. The facilities do need upgrading as far as the restrooms, but they are fully functional. Great community, great teachers, great staff, great kids all promoting kindness within their culture. Check out their video on u tube for the 2014 and 2015 school year.

What a lovely school! The teachers are friendly, the office staff is informed and helpful. Communication is perfect. I am happy that my daughter is going to school here and honestly have had no complaints so far! Keep up the good work!
