An Opportunity to Thrive
Our neighborhood program allows students within our attendance limit to join our vibrant community. But that's just the beginning.
At Greeley Elementary School, we pride ourselves on offering a diverse array of educational opportunities to our students. As a Magnet School, we specialize in world language programs, providing students three days a week of Spanish instruction from Pre-K (3 and 4 years old) through 8th grade. Our commitment to nurturing the talents and abilities of every student is reflected in our "Gifted" distinction, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to thrive.

While academic excellence and language instruction are a priority, Greeley also focuses on holistic development. SEL integration, cooperative learning strategies, art and music classes, and STEM summer camps offer students a well-rounded education.

At Greeley, we take pride in our diversity, ensuring students from various backgrounds feel valued and appreciated. Teachers emphasize the importance of learning from different cultures and the benefits of a diverse environment.

Small Group Instruction, Plus Cooperative & Social-emotional Learning
Students actively engage in collaborative activities that promote teamwork, communication, and critical thinking skills by integrating Kagan's cooperative learning strategies and implementing small group instruction through Daily Three and Daily Five. Moreover, we embed the Second Step program for Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) into our curriculum, fostering emotional intelligence, empathy, and conflict resolution abilities among students. These approaches create a comprehensive learning environment supporting academic and social-emotional growth.

Strong ties with community partners, such as the Chicago Park District and the Cubs, offer additional student resources and opportunities. Our active PTO/PAC/BAC organizes various family events, including STEM nights and multicultural events, further strengthening the bond between the school, community, and our families.
