What Does it Mean to Be
A Magnet & Gifted World Language School?
As a Magnet School, we offer specialized programming in world language that attracts students from all over the city. We are fortunate to offer our students three days a week in Spanish from Pre-K (3 and 4 years old) through 8th grade. The "EL Regional Gifted Center" distinction recognizes our dedication to nurturing the talents and abilities of every student, fostering their growth and development in Spanish and Polish. We also have a neighborhood program. This allows students who live within our attendance limit to attend Greeley.
“The gifted bilingual program was a major draw for us, and it's been everything we hoped for. The small school atmosphere is another huge plus—it feels like home.”
-Christina, Proud Greeley Parent & Grandparent
Proudly Diverse
"What I truly appreciate about Greeley is its diversity. Having been a student here myself, I vividly recall appreciating the diverse community. These experiences significantly contributed to my preparation for high school and college, fostering a deeper understanding of cultural diversity and opening doors to broader opportunities. Embracing different cultures has been instrumental in shaping my perspective and readiness for life beyond Greeley."
–Mrs. Guzman, Gifted Coordinator

Honoring Our Parents & Partners
At Greeley Elementary, we deeply appreciate the support of our parents and community partners. Collaborating with organizations like the Joffrey Ballet, Urban Initiatives, Epic, JPA, Gill Park, and Urban Gateways enriches our students' experiences. We would also like to thank Alderman Angela Clay and Chicago Cubs Charities for continuing to strongly support Greeley and its efforts to modernize and provide robust physical fitness opportunities for students. Together, we foster an environment where every child thrives. Thank you to our dedicated parents and partners for their unwavering commitment to our school community.
Preparing for the Future
“At Greeley, we take pride in our robust academic program, designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities they need to succeed in high school, college, and beyond."
