"We Are Intellectuals"

Academic rigor and relevance are at the core of the Perspectives model. Supported by the principles of A Disciplined Life, our students are expected to achieve at high levels. We provide students with a "college for certain" environment, where students are exposed to the possibilities of post-secondary education and required to apply to at least five colleges before graduation.

Our students are regularly assessed in a variety of ways, and our teachers and school leaders make data-driven decisions to thoughtfully improve every students chance for academic success. Interim assessments, given on a quarterly basis, are aligned to Illinois Learning Standards and ACT College Readiness Standards. These assessments provide teachers with another tool to track student progress.
