your child's first educational experience in one of Chicago's most dynamic neighborhoods

Sonnets Academy - West Loop has deep roots in its community having been part of the neighborhood for just over 10 years. It has its very own large, private outdoor play yard with a children’s garden-scape. Walking field trips and playtime our students go to the Mary Barteleme Park. It offers a large children's play area, an open field for gross motor play and a fountain plaza for hot days. With 16 classrooms, the school also has an indoor gym on both floors for daily gross motor time if the weather doesn’t permit outdoor play.
