TRADITIONAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS HAVE NOT EVOLVED TO SUPPORT THE GROWING NUMBER OF TODAY’S STUDENTS WHO LEARN DIFFERENTLY… UNTIL METRO.
Metro is the only school in Chicago that fills the gap between a mainstream and therapeutic school by pairing academic excellence with social- emotional support so diverse learners can reach their greatest potential. We serve bright students in senior kindergarten through 12th grade who learn differently due to anxiety, ADD/ADHD, processing and other learning concerns. Our experienced and dedicated faculty understand how to recognize and cultivate each student’s talents and abilities so they can achieve their life long goals.
METRO IS REDEFINING THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THROUGH INNOVATION AND CUSTOMIZATION.
Metro provides academic excellence by offering an innovative and customized learning model that supports the whole- child. Through differentiation of rigorous, inquiry-based, hands-on academics, small class sizes, and social-emotional support, Metro students become compassionate, knowledgeable and inquisitive young adults who are empowered to create a better tomorrow. We are proud to say that all of our students meet or exceed Illinois State Standards.
