When she was little, her imagination was limitless.

She was a doctor, a ballerina, an astronaut, an artist or Dorothy (okay, Toto too). She still has big dreams, though now they are this side of the rainbow. Let Trinity be home for four years and watch her make them all come true. Because when it comes to building confidence in her dreams, there really is no place like Trinity.

t. Louise de Marillac School, located in LaGrange Park, is proud to offer a complete Illinois State and Archdiocesan certified curriculum for grades Preschool 3 and 4 through Grade 8 in a faith-based, nurturing environment.

Our close community is at the heart of St. Louise, extending well beyond the school day and into the lives of our families. St. Louise students further benefit from the continuous support of our Pastor and parish. Together, our school and parish community ensures students develop into strong, intelligent individuals, possessing a sense of confidence to succeed in life. Most importantly, St. Louise School students will be strong in Catholic values, forming them into people of fervent faith, service and action.

Daily classes are held in English, Math, Reading, Language Arts, Religion, Science and Social Studies. Our curriculum is reinforced through the use of the Internet and educational software; students have regular access to a modern computer lab facility, receiving instruction on both Mac and PC’s, as well as technologicallyenhanced classrooms and resource centers.

All junior high students benefit from a school issued laptop which allows them to immerse into a topic and progress at their

own rate. In addition, we offer weekly classes and many extracurricular activities to complement our academic program.

Altar serving, athletics, scouting, physical education, library, music and art, Bitty Soccer, drama club, running club, and robotics are just some of the enrichment programs that guarantee our students the opportunity to learn beyond the classroom.

At St. Louise School, supportive relationships are fostered within our dynamic multiage classrooms for grades 1 through 4.

We boast a student-teacher ratio of 12:1. As a result, our students work safely, creatively and collaboratively to find varied paths to success and acquire the knowledge and cognitive skills they need to be self-directed learners.

St. Louise School offers after school care at our Extended Day Creativity Club, available each day that school is in session from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. and from dismissal until 6:00 p.m. Activities include monitored homework time, arts & camp; crafts, snack time and gym time.
