Courtenay Elementary Language Arts Center
deitelbaum: Courtenay Language Arts Center is one of the most up and coming elementary schools in the Chicago area, according to Chicago Magazine! However, I have taught there as a speech pathologist for the past 21 years, and I don't need to read Chicago magazine to know this. Courtenay is an ethnically diverse school, where the students speak numerouse different languages, and come from a wide variety of countries. The staff is wonderful, the administration is excellent, and the parents are the best. Courtenay serves Pre-K through 8th grade, and offers a multitude of different programs, both academic and non-academic. It's a gem of a school: although it is small, it has a large heart.

Lovie Williams: This school is wonderful. My daughter is in there special education program. She learned how to read with in the first week of being there. Her teacher is so good with the children in her class. She gives them so much attention indivdually. they have so many aids there all over the school. I feel so safe that no one can just come inside the school and pick up your child.
