The Catherine Cook School

Catherine Cook School is a small private grammar school in Old Town on Schiller Pl. Over the years it has grown to take over the loft building and to buy the lot and build the building next door. There is a great community of parents involved. My closest friends to this day are Catherine Cook Moms. The strong academic foundation at CCS made high school a smooth experience for my son and now he’s doing well as a Loyola freshman. He started in pre-​kindergarten and went all the way through. The tuition is far below that of Francis Parker or Latin. I highly recommend Catherine Cook for a strong phonics-​based reading program and solid accredited teaching protocols and an excellent art department.
