Seth Paine Elementary School

Isaac Fox Elementary is one of five elementary schools in Lake Zurich Community Unit School District 95. Each day opens with a social-emotional learning morning meeting, followed by a long block of English language arts, a math block, and time for social studies and science. Students attend specials every day, with longer sessions four days a week, and lunch and recess together give them a real break at midday. Our Literacy and Innovation Hub, run by the school librarian, offers an ebook collection and book-themed reading, writing and STEAM activities. The Isaac Fox PTO meets in our library and hosts family events such as Trunk or Treat and the Painted Pumpkin Palooza. The district also offers preschool screening for children ages 3 to 5, so families can check on development before kindergarten.

JCC Chicago Early Childhood is dedicated to nurturing the potential of young learners, serving children from infancy through preschool age, including those with language-based learning disabilities and other developmental challenges. The school's core mission revolves around fostering a love for learning while focusing on social-emotional development, which is vital in helping children navigate their emotions, build empathy, and establish healthy relationships. Through a variety of engaging programs and therapeutic methodologies, educators create an enriching environment that not only addresses academic needs but also promotes resilience and confidence in each child. Unique to JCC Chicago is its low student-teacher ratio, which ensures personalized attention and strong family partnerships that enhance the educational experience. Additionally, the school incorporates the Sheva framework, integrating Jewish values into daily practices to cultivate a supportive community where curiosity thrives. With multiple locations throughout Chicagoland, JCC Chicago Early Childhood stands out as a place where wonder and confidence grow in every child.

Lake Zurich High School, part of Community Unit School District 95, was named a 2024 U.S. Department of Education National Blue Ribbon School. Our courses are organized into academic divisions, including Global Studies, Innovation and Career Pathways, Literacy and Performing Arts, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Physical Development and Wellness. Students choose from college prep, honors and AP levels, and some social studies courses use a blended 3-2 model with three days face to face and two flexible or virtual days. We encourage four to five years of world language study, which prepares students for the proficiency exam toward the State Seal of Biliteracy. Art + Design offers three tracks, and the INCubator entrepreneurship program ends each year with a final pitch night. Our counseling and student services team leads career exploration and college services, and students run the Bear Facts student media outlet. Athletics, clubs and extracurricular activities fill out the school week, and mentor and volunteer opportunities connect students with the community.
