City Elementary inspires diverse learners to take risks and achieve their fullest academic and social potential.

We are a school like none other in Chicago – precisely tailored to the academic, social, sensory, and communication needs of kids on the autism spectrum and those with related forms of neurodiversity. We teach social and emotional skills alongside academic subjects like math, reading, and science. Our students thrive in small classrooms with expert teachers who provide support for attention, regulation, and social connection. Collaborating with parents, we design individualized educational plans that enhance the continuity of learning between home and school and foster students’ exponential growth. Located near the University of Chicago, we cultivate countless partnerships that infuse our community with vitality, rigor, and innovation.
