What Parents Say

“The staff is very welcoming and helpful. It feels right to be at Audubon because parents and teachers are involved in the future development of each child. There is the heartfelt, sincere desire for each child to be successful.” — Sally, parent of 3rd grader

“Audubon is a hidden gem. We started our daughter at a pricey private school and moved her to Audubon. We love the parents, teachers and staff more, and the education is equally as good, if not better. The patience, knowledge, time and love felt from all of [my child's teachers] is priceless. I also love the family feeling you get being part of the Audubon community. We are so proud to be an Audubon family, and we tell everyone about this school and its staff and family support.” –Jen, parent of preschooler

“Audubon is our second family. Even the school clerk warmly greets my children by name. Teachers and children celebrate the joy of learning together here, and each year I am even more proud to have my kids’ individual needs so well taken care of by the Audubon staff.” –Lara, parent of 1st grader and 2nd grader

“We were so lucky to get into Audubon through the Math/Science Magnet Lottery. It has a wonderful family atmosphere.” –Carolyn, parent of 5th and 3rd graders

“The teachers involved with the Tuition-Based Pre School have a phenomenal educational background and the effect of their dynamic interaction with my children has demonstrated phenomenal learning results. [My favorite things are:] the garden, monthly field trips, artistic projects and having the kids express themselves, and the parent-driven initiative to improve the school.” –Michele, parent of preschoolers

“Having a special needs child can be difficult for teachers, other children and parents. The educational sophistication and neighborhood community is exactly what I had hoped for.” –Amy, parent of kindergartner

“I like Audubon because it has a more strict curriculum. They seem to have more of the student’s interest at heart.” –Eleanor, parent of 6th grader

“We love Audubon because of the wonderful teachers, students and parents. Everyone has such a great positive energy and involvement.” –Janet, parent of preschooler

“After much research of private and solid public schools, we came upon Audubon, and to our great luck, our son was accepted. We felt like Audubon was on the cups of something big—scores rising, morale was up, community involvement and good enrollment numbers.” –Sherri, parent of 1st grader

“Audubon is the way my boys are building their future. Audubon is a road keeping them through their steps of life.” –Benjamin, parent of 8th and 3rd graders.

Favorite things about Audubon are: “my son’s teacher, the hardwood floors and look of the building, the music room, the science room — very hands-on, the University of Chicago Math Program, the focus on writing, and the Redmoon Theatre (arts integration) Partnership. –Carrie, parent of preschooler

“As an alumni of Audubon (class of ‘86), I am so proud and excited to have my children attend Audubon.” — Michelle, parent of 7th grader and preschooler

“As a nine-year resident of Roscoe Village, I am amazed to see how interactive parents can turn a good school into a great one. I am happy to see the direction that Audubon is moving in and grateful that my children are growing up with this school.” — Helene, parent of kindergartner and Preschooler

Favorite things about Audubon are: “friendly staff and parents, green space/garden, improvement in test scores and pride of the school” — Amy, parent of preschooler

“Audubon certainly put my mind at ease when it came to choosing a school. I knew it was a place where my child, as well as myself, could grow and become more involved in our community school.” –Jane, parent of preschooler

“I love my son’s teacher. She is one of the most caring, nurturing and loving teachers I have worked with. She gets to know each kid individually and helps them grow. She has great communication with parents, too.” –Jill, parent of kindergartner

“It is very rare in a major city to have the desire to send your child to a public school by choice. We feel fortunate to have such a clean, stimulating, well-organized environment to send our child to every day. It is great peace of mind!” –Christi, parent of preschooler

Favorite things about Audubon are: “the teachers– they are open, encouraging and enthusiastic, The Redmoon Theatre [arts integration] Program, the diversity of the students, parents and teachers.” –Minou, parent of 2nd grader and kindergartner
