The aspects I like most about chicago Tech is that it is project based and we have minimum test. In our school we are able to bring our thoughts and ideas to realization. When you walk into our school its so amazing because everything around is basically made from the students.

The academics at this school is very unique from others. Our schedule switch every other day which we call an A day and B day. Every Friday we have a X day.On our A day We have two classes that are a hour-thirty minutes(1st and 2nd period), advisory(3A), lunch(3B), another hour-thirty minute class(4th period), and a 45 minute class(5th period) that we have both A days and B days. On our B days, its the same concept just different periods 6th and 7th period, 3A, 3B, 8th period, and 5th period. On our X days we go through all of our periods, but they're shortened to 45 minutes each.
