Benefits of a
Private School

CRAIN’S CUSTOM MEDIA ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT
s a private school the best educational option for
my child and my family? It’s a question parents
often ask themselves.
While there’s no one right answer, private schools
do offer a number of advantages. Here are some
of the top reasons why a private school might be
the right choice for your family.
1. Small classes. Private schools often have small class
sizes, typically of no more than 20 students. A class
may even have more than one teacher. Parents see the
advantages of a low student-to-teacher ratio. “Students
get the attention they need,” says Ellen Meents-DeCaigny,
whose son is a sophomore at DePaul College Prep, a
Catholic high school with 500 students on Chicago’s
North Side. “We appreciate that.”
Parent Katie McMillan sends her three boys to
Catherine Cook School, a private grade school in
Chicago’s Old Town neighborhood. She picked the
school, in part, because each class had just 21 students
with a lead teacher and assistant teacher. “My kids like it
there,” she says. McMillan also loves that the school has
made technology and software coding an important part
of the curriculum even in the early years.
Chicago City Day School on the North Side offers
junior kindergarten-8th grade and limits enrollment to
200 students. “Small schools mean big opportunities,”
says Galeta Clayton, head of school. The small setting
gives students the chance to participate in all programs,
including drama and public speaking. “The world will
belong to those who can defend their ideas,” Clayton says.
Rochelle Zell Jewish High School, Deerfield, has 185
students. Small class sizes translate into students who
know the teachers, and teachers who know the students.
“The relationships between students and teachers are
like nothing I have seen before,” says Dean of Faculty
Roger Stein, a former principal of Niles West High
School. “Students can ask for help and feel understood by
their teachers.”
2. Individual support. Private schools are structured
to provide students with the individual support they
need to succeed. Because the schools aren’t bound by
certain rules, they can be fairly flexible in their approach.
“Students don’t fall through the cracks,” Stein says.
Elgin Academy, with pre-kindergarten-12th grade,
has a director of personalized learning, Anne-Elise
Parker. She says her mission is to reach students where
they are in their academic journey to help them grow
intellectually. In practical terms, she works with small
groups of students and individuals to define their goals
and aspirations and develop a support plan to make
that happen.

three children can actively participate
in a variety of sports at North Shore

in Winnetka with junior kindergarten-12th grade.

approach to a “magic formula” that creates the
right environment for success in the classroom, on
the field, and in life.
Private schools typically take a somewhat different
approach to athletics than public schools. Instead
of selecting the best athletes for teams, private
schools tend to encourage broad participation.
