Parent Testimonials

  • We are very thankful and grateful for Mr. Domovic and the staff at Louisa May Alcott for the wonderful job they have been doing over the years with our three daughters.  We feel they are being equipped with the tools for success.

  • Alcott has created a warm, enriching environment for our boys to really grow into confident, motivated and caring students.

  • We came to Alcott because Principal Domovic has the vision to be innovative, the patience to listen to teachers, parents, and students about new ideas, and the courage to take risks that move the school beyond the norm.

  • The Alcott parent community is an amazing group!  The energy, ideas and powerful resources the parents dedicate makes Alcott a CPS "PLUS" school.

  • After researching several private, parochial and public schools in the area we chose Alcott.  Our choice was based on the positive leadership style of the principal, the strength of the faculty and the school's proven test results.

  • An Alcott education is more like what I would expect from a private school-smaller class sizes, Chinese language instruction and educating the students about healthy eating and healthy lifestyles.  Alcott is way ahead of the times!
