Founded in 1995 to provide alternative education opportunities to underserved and at-risk kids and teens, our UChicago Medicine AdventHealth GlenOaks School and Transition Program have been growing ever since.
From a handful of students and staff, we’re now a two-campus school serving more than 220 children and adolescents in grades 3 through 12 and a Transition Program for young adults.
Our state-accredited programs and dedicated staff have provided almost 30 years of continuous, innovative service to our local Chicagoland communities.
Meet Our Principals
Our staff consists of qualified teachers, nurses, social workers, therapists, clinical psychologists and a psychiatrist — all of whom genuinely care about the well-being of each student.
Each lower-grade classroom has a certified special education teacher and a behavioral health counselor with education and experience in psychology, counseling, education or another related field. This team approach includes regular communication with parents and school district personnel.
