Winnetka is a thriving North Shore community with a unique educational history.  The first Winnetka public school opened in October 1859 on what is now the Village Green. Since then, The Winnetka Public Schools District has grown not only in enrollment, but in its highly regarded reputation as a beacon for educators around the globe seeking best practices in teaching and an enduring philosophy of learning.  Starting in 1920, “The Winnetka Plan” focused on individualized instruction, hands-on learning, attention to the development of the whole child, research and development of curriculum materials, and a thoughtful and comprehensive program of staff development.  These pillars of progressive education continue to be cornerstones of today’s Winnetka Public Schools.  Crow Island School is the manifestation of this philosophy, with its 1200 square foot classrooms each having direct access to the outdoors. 

The Village of Winnetka is located within easy commuting distance of Chicago on the shores of Lake Michigan.  An attractive community with beautiful parks, a thriving downtown, and plentiful activities and services for its residents, Winnetka is an ideal family town that values education and supports its schools.
