Noonan Elementary Academy is an independent Catholic school in Mokena serving preschool through 8th grade. They will be hosting their annual Open House differently this year in order to comply with safety guidelines currently in place. Any new or prospective families wishing to learn more about Noonan can contact the school directly at 708-479-8988 to schedule a private tour at their convenience.
“Adaptive really is the key word here. We still want prospective families to know that though we do not have a scheduled open house this year they are welcomed and encouraged to contact us directly to set up a tour when it’s convenient for them.”
Noonan maintains an environment that is a catalyst for learning. In addition to Noonan students going to school an equivalent of 30 additional days per year, the classroom size is relatively half the size of neighboring schools. The student-faculty ratio is among the best in the area at 7:1. The smaller classrooms allow for better learning conditions, personal attention, and increased levels of participation. All of which add to the students' academic experience. Not only do they have a teacher to student ratio that will allow the gifted, average, and at-risk student to maximize their potential, they also have various levels of resources available to their students. The "Noonan Advantage" has resulted in superior standardized test scores in every subject area listed compared to the national average. Every child deserves the opportunity to reach his or her full potential in a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment. With resources such as a state of the art computer lab, SMART Boards in every classroom, award-winning speech, drama, and chess programs, STEM Lab, engineering & robotics, and computer science as well as sports, band, art, music, additional classes in Spanish and Latin, and more available, Noonan provides the best for their students.
