Peabody School Community: 

Welcome to The Peabody School Community! At the Peabody School, our identity is shaped by an inclusive and deeply cohesive community that champions both the pursuit of academic excellence and a profound commitment to service. Our entire community is united by our powerful mission: To love. To learn. To lead.

This strong community spirit is nurtured daily through our morning meetings and shared weekly with families via our publication, Pumas in the Know. We take pride in being an educational pioneer, specifically as the first school in CPS to implement the esteemed Kodály music program, affirming our belief that "Music is for everyone."

We enrich our students' experience with an average of one major community event each month, providing diverse opportunities for celebration, academic enrichment, and relationship building. Deeper student-educator connections are fostered through varied before- and after-school clubs, such as Math Olympiad, coding, curriculum-linked learning clubs, and our Big Brothers/Big Sisters mentorship program. Our dedicated family organizations, the Friends of Peabody and Peabody Connections, are vital partners who sponsor valuable enrichment like author visits and essential field trips. Every facet of our practice is driven by our commitment to the physical, emotional, and academic well-being of our students.
