University of Chicago Laboratory Schools

The University of Chicago Laboratory Schools are home to the youngest members of the University of Chicago's academic community. We ignite and nurture an enduring spirit of scholarship, curiosity, creativity, and confidence. We value learning experientially, exhibiting kindness, and honoring diversity.

Nestled within the rich academic tapestry of the University of Chicago, our schools continue to serve as living laboratories where groundbreaking educational theories are tested and refined.

Our students are not merely recipients of knowledge; they are active participants in their own learning journey. Our distinguished faculty, collaborative ethos, and over a century-old tradition of academic excellence create an environment that challenges conventional norms, nurtures critical thinking, and prepares students to democratically engage in an ever-changing society.
