Welcome to Old St. Mary’s School! We are a vibrant and growing Catholic school in the South Loop of Chicago serving 175 children in preschool through 4th grade. As we continue to grow, adding a grade level each year, we look forward to becoming one of the premier elementary schools in our city, serving students all the way up through the eighth grade. We offer a rigorous academic program, rooted in a firm foundation of our Christian faith, preparing our students for the challenges of the twenty-first century and beyond. Our students enjoy a curriculum designed with many hands-on learning opportunities. Our location, just minutes away from the Museum Campus, allows us frequent access to the rich history and treasures of our great city. Our students are challenged to observe carefully, think critically, and respond compassionately to the needs surrounding them. Our goal for each one of our students is to become a life long learner, never losing that excitement of knowing more about the world in which we live.
On behalf of the entire Old St. Mary’s community, I want to thank you for visiting our site, and I hope that you find it informative. I also want to extend to you a personal invitation to come visit the school and see all the exciting things that are happening every day here at Old St. Mary’s School. Many parents find our Fall Open Houses very useful in sorting out their school options. We have two scheduled this year, on October 22 and November 12 at 9:00 AM. These Open Houses are for parents only and provide an opportunity to learn about the school programs and observe our classrooms. Reservations can be made by phoning the school office at 312 386-1560. Thank you for your interest in Old St. Mary’s School…. it truly is a wonderful place for children to grow!
