Vine Academy

“My son was nervous about attending a new school. He was worried he wouldn’t like it at all. After a couple days he stated it was way better than his old school! He used to complain everything was so boring and easy. Not anymore. The faculty works hard to challenge each and every student. One of the best aspects of this school is the emphasis on writing. At Vine Academy, writing is emphasized not just in writing class, but also in independent study, science and history. Feedback is immediate, helping the student improve on a daily basis.”

“I love the Vine Nine and how they are incorporated in all that you do. Vine does so many things right - I am so thankful [our daughter] had the opportunity to attend Vine.”

“Vine offers every child a tailored and highly effective educational experience, and my twins are thriving there as a result. The curriculum has been meticulously crafted, a product of rigorous thought that is also adaptable to students' needs and interests. Accompanying the robust curriculum are regular assessments that fit curricular goals and are clearly communicated to parents. My children love being at school, because the work engages them, the teachers are creative and knowledgeable, and the environment is inclusive and supportive. Vine is a gem, education at its best.”

“My 13-year-old son loves this school. The teachers have challenged him in each class at an appropriate level, and I have been very happy with my son's progress. Vine has helped my son develop executive functioning skills while not sacrificing academics. The small classes create a nurturing environment, academically and socially.”

“I can't thank you enough for what you have created at Vine. I am overjoyed to provide my children with the opportunity to be a part of this microcosm of kind, inquisitive, creative, and hard-working kids. What a beautiful thing you have done.”

“We are new to Vine and love it! My son is excited and interested in school again.”

“After conferences for our son, my husband and I were over the moon. He is having an amazing positive school experience at Vine, and he is thriving. We never thought we would see a report card with all B's and A's. But beyond that, we didn't know if we would arrive at the place where our son liked school- we have arrived. We made the right choice by sending him to Vine and we are grateful to all the teachers that make it such a special place.”

“The Vine Academy teachers are committed to the students in a way that is unparalleled. I wish it was possible to give more than 5 stars.”

“I wanted to reach out to let you know that [our son] is thriving at Washington Junior High in Naperville and he got straight As his first trimester! We couldn’t be more proud of him. His teachers also said that he is good at asking for help when he needs it. He uses his time wisely in study hall and therefore has minimal homework. We know that this would not be the scenario had he not gone to Vine and had you all as teachers. So thank you for what you do!”

““You cannot hand someone an education; they have to earn it themselves. Vine has helped our son learn this perhaps most important lesson.””

“The staff at Vine has given our son the challenge and support he’s needed to finally thrive at school... and he loves learning again! As a former teacher, it’s clear that Vine is doing everything right.”

“We used to fight to get our daughter to go to school, even though she was a high academic performer. Now, she is genuinely engaged and enthused about school.”

“We love this school and have had the pleasure of seeing many friends try the school out for themselves only to join this community right away.”

“I cannot say enough about Vine Academy! The teachers are wonderful, the other students are so inviting and the curriculum is superb!”

“I am overjoyed to provide my children with the opportunity to be a part of this microcosm of kind, inquisitive, creative, and hard-working kids. What a beautiful thing you have done.”

“As an 8th grader at Vine, our daughter tested into all honors classes at Hinsdale Central for her freshman year, including three sophomore-level honors classes. Thus far she has excelled in high school academically and socially.”
