About Us

By connecting classroom learning to the real world, we encourage our students to become lifelong learners.

At Metropolitan Schoolhouse, we take differentiated learning to a new level by recognizing and nurturing the unique abilities and talents of each student. We believe that each and every one of us can learn and that we all learn best in various ways. Learning is a lifelong endeavor and school is a place to gain both knowledge and the skills necessary for a lifetime of learning.

Metropolitan Schoolhouse is the only school in Chicago that fills the gap between a mainstream and therapeutic school, empowering neurodiverse learners to succeed in the classroom and beyond. Our whole-child, individualized curriculum provides the academic rigor our students deserve while fostering social-emotional skills to navigate the world with confidence and resilience.

We are proud to be a Provisional Member of the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS), reflecting our commitment to exemplary independent education and continuous improvement.
