A Chicago Public Schools magnet campus, Richard Edwards Dual Language Fine and Performing Arts Elementary School serves over 1,300 students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Edwards Elementary seeks to cultivate respectful, responsible and compassionate citizens who create innovative solutions for a better world. With rigorous academic programs, Edwards integrates the arts with traditional academic subjects, placing an emphasis on global and international perspectives.
An International Baccalaureate (IB) school, Edwards offers middle-grade students a chance to prepare for both secondary and post-secondary school success. A partnership between Edwards Elementary and nearby Marie Curie High School guarantees a smooth transition as students move beyond the primary levels. Edwards Elementary is named after the 19th-century Illinois Superintendent of Public Instruction, Richard Edwards, who helped co-found Illinois State Teachers College (now Illinois State University).
Programs at Edwards Elementary include bilingual language coursework, summer programs devoted to math, technology and design as well as collaborations with the Chicago Park District offering summer programming in athletics and the arts. Students can join a number of sports teams, including basketball, boys’ and girls’ soccer, softball, lacrosse and Special Olympics competitions.
