18 | January 25, 2018 | 22nd century media private school guide 22ndCenturyMedia.com Educates From Page 12 Educating families under one roof distinguishes FHC from other schools in the area. Recently implemented, our house system—a program that allows 3rd- 8th grade students to work within a respective ‘house’ with assigned faculty leaders — promotes leadership, character training, and addresses social-emotional topics impacting children and teens in today’s society at alarming rates — stress, peer pressure, bullying and drug awareness. The house system fosters positive competition, teamwork, decision-making skills, empathy, and camaraderie through service projects. The multi-age groupings have proven to advance the development of leadership and encourage friendships beyond grade levels. FHC students graduate with a superior academic education, allowing them to excel in high school and top tier universities, all while making a positive impact in the world around them. However, FHC acknowledges that not all students learn the same way and at the same time. Our school is proud of the support provided by our Learning Lab in an effort to support students in all content areas; while developing and nurturing self-esteem and helping students reach their full potential. The Learning lab addresses the needs of the ‘whole child’ and is staffed to work with students that present with an ICEP (Individualized Catholic Education Plan) and recommended accommodations as well as those students that have been identified in the areas of Math and Reading to benefit from a Response to Intervention (RTI). Registration is open for the 2018-2019 school year. Financial assistance is available.

Hyde Park helps children with learning disabilities transition back by meeting their needs The challenge facing children with learning disabilities is real. Hyde Park Day School is here to help these children reach their full potential, transforming the lives of our students and their families with our studentcentered approach. Hyde Park Day School is the leading Chicago-area, full-day grade school specializing in the needs of children of average to superior intelligence who have learning disabilities such as dyslexia and language impairments. Founded 18 years ago, the school currently supports students at campuses in Chicago and Northfield. Since its founding, it has enabled 413 students to successfully transition back to schools in their home community. “Our goal is transition.” said Dr. Casey Crnich, executive director. “We give our bright students the tools and strategies they need to recognize and compensate for their learning challenges. Our 5:1 student teacher ratio ensures that each child gets personalized attention and a customized program of academic support as well as Speech, Social Work, and Occupational Therapy. Hyde Park transform its students from self-doubters to selfchampions; they become more self-confident and develop a love of learning which makes them successful as they move into more mainstream learning environments.” A Long-Term Outcomes Study released in 2015 found that 90.2% of those alumni for whom we have information have enrolled in a fouryear college or university. Increased demand for this type of specialized instruction has resulted in a robust enrollment; this year Hyde Park Day School is serving approximately 120 students on its two campuses, and is looking at a potential expansion to the western suburbs. Monthly Open Houses are held at both campuses for prospective parents to learn more about the school’s programs. The school created the Bright Futures Scholarship Fund to help those students who require tuition assistance to attend the school. The Fund enables more students to access this type of specialized learning environment, regardless of the family’s financial situation. This year the School distributed over $416,000 in scholarship aid to deserving students. The Bright Futures Scholarship Fund is supported by the Annual Gala, as well as individual donations.
