The Nettelhorst School is a CPS Magnet Cluster School, a CPS Community School, and Fine Arts and Performing Arts Program Site. We place a strong emphasis on an enhanced interdisciplinary curriculum, which cultivates independence, self-discipline, and a love for lifelong learning. Recognizing that each child is special, we tailor learning to meet individual needs. Admission is guaranteed to students who live within our attendance area. Children outside the district may enroll by fulfilling the necessary requirements. At Nettelhorst, we believe the partnership between home and school is extremely important. So parents are encouraged to participate in all aspects of their child's education. On Tuesdays, a free children's story hour led by Unabridged Bookstore is held in the library at 9 a.m. For interested parties, a school tour beginning at 9:45 a.m. is conducted afterwards.
