  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!
