Harriet Tubman Elementary School is a stately reminder of Chicago Public Schools’ beautiful architecture at 2851 N. Seminary Ave. Enrolling 500 pre-kindergarten through eighth grade students, Harriet Tubman is considered both an elementary and middle school.
Harriet Tubman's students enjoy an average classroom size of 26 with a student-to-teacher ratio of 12-to-1. 46% of Harriet Tubman's students test proficient in math and 37% are proficient readers. Harriet Tubman officially hosts an International Baccalaureate curriculum for its elementary students known as the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and as the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for middle schoolers.
Primary-aged students pursue core studies in math, science, social studies, language, PE, social-emotional lessons and the arts. Within this academic framework, students explore transcendental themes like their own sense of identity within the context of history and the community at large.
Middle school students study an IB curriculum of language, literature, math, art and design and science. By the eighth grade, students are expected to design a community project around an awareness of others' needs and an understanding of service.
