Experience the Montessori method in action, and discover an educational environment where children are encouraged to explore, create, think independently, and grow with confidence. 
From their very first day to their middle school years, at the Montessori Academy of Chicago, we nurture each child's natural curiosity and love of learning. 
Meet educators, ask questions about admissions, and explore the West Loop facility at the only fully Montessori-accredited school in Chicago serving children 6 weeks old through 8th grade.  
Whether you're new to Montessori or already know and love the philosophy, this is the perfect opportunity to experience our community firsthand. Come explore, connect and discover what's possible.

Join us for the Ravenswood Costume Crawl, an evening of treats, sweets and BOOze!
We’re going to need a bigger boat! This October, your favorite local haunts are teaming up for an evening of treats, drinks, and Halloween fun. Show up in costume, hang out with friends and neighbors, and enjoy a fantastic selection of local bites and sips as you hop between shops and restaurants along Montrose Ave.
The Ravenswood Costume Crawl is going to do for Montrose Ave what Jaws did for the ocean. It’s a great opportunity to sink your fangs into a variety of scary delicious flavors in one evening–and a fun excuse to support local businesses along Montrose! When else do you get to go to Margie’s dressed as Frankenstein’s monster?
It’s alive, it’s alive! Want to know more about how it works? First, you’ll creep over to our Check-In Location at Teddy’s Ice Cream (2000 W Montrose Ave), where you’ll get your wristband, punch card, swag bag, and map. Then, you’re off to devour treats and check out a spook-tacular tour of local businesses.
Tickets are $32 for individuals or $120 for groups of four! Your ticket includes 14 tasting-sized bites and drinks, a tote bag filled with local coupons and flyers, and some treats from our community partners.
After Party and Costume Contest Not ready for the night to end? We aren’t either! You’re invited to crawl on over to KOVAL Distillery (4241 N Ravenswood Ave) for a legendary after party from 8-10PM, featuring a costume contest at 9pm, live tarot readings, a spooky featured cocktail, and more!
