Guerin Prep to Host Open House November 25

Guerin College Preparatory High School
(www.guerinprep.org), a Catholic, co-educational college preparatory school, invites
prospective high school students and their families to visit the school during
an Open House scheduled on November 25.

Guerin Prep, situated on a 23-acre, wireless campus
in River Grove on Chicago’s northwest side, serves approximately 450 students
from Chicago and surrounding suburbs. The school boasts a 1:12 teacher to
student ratio and a 100 percent college acceptance rate. Guerin Prep is structured
to meet the individual strengths and needs of each student. The curriculum includes
three rigorous academic programs of study (Sullivan College Preparatory Program,
Providence College Preparatory Program and the advanced Nolan Scholar Program),
as well as an advanced placement program for students.

Technology
in the Classroom

Additionally, Guerin Prep is a technology-centered
high school committed to integrating technology in the classroom. Guerin’s laptop
program is designed to provide students with access to up-to-date computer
technology to support their learning.  Every
two years student are provided with a state-of-the-art laptop or tablet equipped
with digital textbooks and the Windows 8 operating system. At the end of each two year
cycle, students can purchase their leased laptop for as little as $1.

Open House

Guerin’s Open House is a unique experience in which
parents and students are separated, allowing Guerin to customize the tour to meet
individual concerns and interests.  The
parents meet with Karen Booth,
Principal, and Steve Baldwin, President, to learn about the core curriculum, school
experience, admission requirements, tuition, and financial aid. Students
participate in five-minute classes to experience what a school day is like at
Guerin.

more than $6 million in college scholarships. Among the students who received
scholarships were Anisa Bravo, who received a full scholarship to University of
Illinois at Chicago to study medicine; Agnes Galej, who was awarded a
substantial scholarship to Yale University to study medicine; and Kristof
Ifkovits, who received a competitive Division 1 FBS Athletic Scholarship to
play football for Western Michigan University.

“We encourage all families who are seeking a solid
high school educational experience to visit Guerin,” said Steve Baldwin,
President of Guerin Prep.  “We continue
to see consistent growth at Guerin Prep each year, and our graduates have gone
on to more than 100 universities and colleges including Yale, Notre Dame, and
Michigan State.  Yet we’ve continued to
maintain the balance between a highly academic education and a value-based
experience,” he added.

Beyond academics, students participate in
a four-year theology program and can also choose from a variety of programs including:
band, strings, piano, choir, theatre, dance, photography, drawing, design, and
ceramics.  Guerin offers a variety
of interscholastic sports teams for both boys and girls, including:
