  About Our School

Welcome to St. Scholastica School! Our school was opened in 1962, with the Benedictine Sisters of Sacred Heart Monastery, Lisle, as teachers. Initially, there were three grades in two rented homes on the corner of Janes and Crabtree. But, as the enrollment increased, a permanent school was built in 1964, and additional grades were introduced.

Presently, the facilities consist of eight classrooms, a temporary mobile unit (for kindergarten and math classes), two offices, a faculty lounge, a gym, a library and computer center, and the Church. Just this school year, we have built a breezeway in front of the gym that connects the school and the Church.

Currently under construction is a two-story building; a constant reminder of the generosity of the parishioners at our Church. Next year the gym will undergo renovations.
