James Hart School is the "end of the line," so to speak, for the educational continuum that is District 153. We serve the needs of the 7th and 8th graders, and we consider it our mission to take the wonderful foundation they've received at Willow, Churchill, and Millennium and prepare them for the world of high school. James Hart is where the students get used to having many teachers for their core subjects, manage the balancing act of curricular and extra-curricular activities, and cope with the difficult task of learning to become responsible young adults. Our staff are specialists in their subject area, their approach is child-centered, and they are simply the finest, most qualified professionals available. We take pride in the lines of communication that have been established; they are an integral part of our success.
