Gifted children are, by definition, not standardized. The Midwest Academy for Gifted Education is where gifted kids come to grow.

MAGE takes a different approach from all other schools. A differentiated approach.

  • Junior Kindergarten (must turn 4 by October 1) through 12th grade

  • In addition to core classes we also offer clubs, competitive teams, and hands-on learning

  • A peer group your child can connect with

  • We are experts in gifted education, including the social emotional aspect

  • 100% of our core teachers hold Masters or PhD degrees

  • Fully individualized and differentiated content and pace of instruction

  • 1:4 or lower student teacher ratio for differentiation

We spend time getting to know each child and each family, as we know it takes the right combination of teacher, parent and student for growth and happiness.

MAGE, a parent and teacher 501(c)3 not-for-profit micro-school, is the only private gifted school in the City of Chicago. We focus only on the gifted population and we teach in multi-age classrooms which allows us to differentiate properly. We provide individualized instruction with the right balance of rigor, without pressure. We top off a well-rounded education with communications and partnership with you. Our school was founded in 2018 and is accredited by the State of Illinois Department of Education.

Our educators match their creativity and passion to the strengths and interests of every child. As a part of our school, we invite you to help create a city-wide community that will support the unique needs of the gifted.
