  Happening Now: Open Enrollment at the "New Schmid
  Now accepting scholars in grades K-8
  Note: students do not need to live in the attendance area to attend

Come complete your enrollment forms daily between 8:30am - 4:30pm

The "New" Schmid is an Options for Knowledge School, providing a better schooling option for PreK-8th grade scholars who live outside the community attendance area. The academic school day begins at 8:45am and ends at 3:45pm. Schmid hosts a variety of after-school options for its scholars typically ending at 5pm daily. Our motto at the "New" Schmid is "Practicing Excellence Without Excuses" because we understand that excellence is the key to success.

What sets Schmid apart:

Classes with 25 or fewer scholars (the typical CPS school has over 30 students per class)
Over 75% of graduating 8th graders are admitted to selective enrollment or magnet high school programs
State of the art media center
State of the art Science lab
100% highly qualified staff
A social- emotional program that is integrated as a part of the school’s core curriculum
A college-going school culture focused on preparing scholars for success in college preparatory high schools
Schmid is a certified CPS healthy school

Because we believe learning should continue outside of the regular school day, Schmid scholars are offered:

Performing Arts classes
Spanish classes
Middle school STEM focus for Math and Science
Early Literacy intervention for K-3 scholars
Algebra for high school credit
Partnership with Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship
Before and after school academic, social and sports programming
Partnership with the Smart Art museum of University of Chicago
Multiple service learning opportunities
and much more!
