St. Gregory Episcopal School was established in 1962 by the Rev. R. L. Whitehouse and Gordon L. Baker. Its founders envisioned a liturgical and educational institution patterned after the all-male English Cathedral choir schools, but situated within the urban context of Chicago. Founded as an outreach ministry of the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany, the school shared space within the church and its parish hall until August 2002. Enrollment was necessarily small (under 30) given the limited amount of space. In August 2002 St. Gregory’s moved to the former Blessed Sacrament School building in Chicago’s North Lawndale community. With the additional space at its new location, it realized a long term desire to add a kindergarten class. There was also room for a computer lab, a library, a lunchroom and a small parking lot that doubles as a playground. In many ways, it became a brand new school, and it is still evolving. Other improvements and additions to St. Gregory school life include: *An intensive tutoring program for those students who, despite our best in-class efforts, are not reading at grade level; *A six-week summer school program that offers remediation *A reading specialist, who will support teachers, parents, students and tutors in our quest to have 100% of our students reading at or above grade level; *The introduction of a religious curriculum called Catechesis of the Good Shepherd,〔()〕 which uses a Montessori approach to religious education; *The introduction of several successful parent involvement programs. ==See also== *English Choir School 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Gregory Episcopal School (Chicago)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
