St. Jerome Catholic School - Chicago

Founded in 1922, St. Jerome is a school steeped in Catholic tradition. Dedicated to the intellectual, emotional, and physical development of every student, we take pride in helping kids reach their full potential both academically and spiritually. PreK – 2nd Grade THE JOURNEY BEGINS HERE We believe that early education is essential to the development of all students. Our recently remodeled Early Learning Campus was designed to meet the educational needs of Pre-K through 2nd grade students. With attentive and caring teachers, your child will also get the opportunity to grow through a specialized approach which encourages observation and interaction with older students who serve as “mini mentors”. This program inspires our youngest students and leads to higher engagement within their own classes, as well as giving older students the chance to hone their leadership skills. 3rd - 8th Grade GIVING EVERY STUDENT A CHANCE TO SHINE From grades 3 through 8, students are given all the tools they need to be successful in the years ahead. Our faith-based curriculum is an essential part of their overall learning experience. From morning prayers and religious instruction, to preparing them for milestones such as Reconciliation, First Communion and Confirmation, St Jerome is dedicated to helping our students become active in the Church and follow in the footsteps of Christ. When it comes to our core curriculum, St. Jerome is known for testing above the national average and a high percentage of our students are placed in top ranked schools after graduation. Because St. Jerome has smaller class sizes, teachers and administrators know how students learn best and get the individualized attention they need.
