Enrollment Application
2008-2009 Calendar
In 2001, Asian Human Services
was awarded a charter by Chicago Public Schools to start Passages
Charter School. Focused specifically on the needs of immigrant
and refugee students, Passages offers a tailored educational program
focused on high academic standards, for students from
pre-kindergarten through sixth
grade. As an English Immersion program, our entire staff is trained
in English in Second Language strategies.
OUR UNIQUE FEATURES
Small Class Size
Small student to teacher ratios allow for more individual attention
and education that is matched to each student’s needs.
High Academic Standards
We expect every student to perform at or above grade level. Our
standardized test scores have shown that we are one of the
best-performing small schools in Chicago.
Longer School Day and School Year
Passages offers a longer school day and longer school year. Our
school doors open at 7:00 am for before-school care, and we have an
after-school program that runs until 5:30 pm each evening, which
helps assure working parents that their children are in a safe and
educational environment.
Effective and Committed Teachers
Like our students, our diverse teaching staff comes from around the
world and speaks many languages. More than 75% of our teachers have
Master’s Degrees, and we have strong support staff, including
AmeriCorps members.
Strong Parent Network
Passages has an active parent/teacher group that supports all school
activities.
Connection to Social Services at AHS
As a division of AHS, all programs are available to Passages'
families. We can assist parents with adult literacy classes,
computer training, employment services, health education and medical
assistance.
Mental Health Services
The Mental Health Program at Asian Human Services collaborates with
Passages Charter School to help children who are struggling to
succeed in school.
Hours of Operation
The school day at Passages runs from 8:00 am - 3:30 pm. We are open
daily from 7:00 am - 5:30 pm, to accommodate children who arrive
early or stay late. Please check with a staff member at the school
