Thank you for attending our "Navigating CPS Elementary Admissions" presentation on 10/11/23 hosted by Park West Coop!

We know it was a lot of information to absorb in a short amount of time, but hope that you were able to get a sense of the options, processes and steps involved. All our resources can be found on the attached document. Be sure to also check out our CSG Calendar for some school tour dates & open houses (updated throughout the year).  CPS also will list dates HERE and some independent schools will list dates HERE.

CPS Applications for K-9th grades are open until 11/9/23. (Here is a helpful slidedeck on CPS applications, and HERE is a list of CPS elementary programs.) Private school application deadlines vary, from late October to rolling. Remember to always apply one year before a program begins, and your neighborhood K-12 school never has a deadline.

A successful school search involves contemplating several pathways and scenarios, which Chicago School GPS can help you "cut to the chase" and widen your net to suit your family's priorities and goals.  We can save you hours and hours of time on confusing research so you can focus on the schools that suit your family's ideals. Should you need assistance making sense of your public and private Chicago school journey (from preschool to high school and beyond) please do reach out to us by sending an email to info@chischoolgps.com.  You can also start by filling out a Child Inquiry Form.  Our services range from 30 minute EXPRESS phone consultations (e.g. if you need help finalizing your applications) to 90 minute INITIAL consultations (for detailed info re: school types, programs, requirements, etc) tailored to your family's needs.  We cover all types of schools from CPS to charter to private parochial & independent and work with you to maximize your chances for acceptances across the board.
