Gold Coast Prep (formerly Chicago Grammar School) vs. The Latin School Of Chicago

GCP Preschool-JK program provides a loving and caring experience inspired by Reggio Emilia approach to early education.

GCP provides a rigorous classical liberal arts education that teaches children to think. GCP is unique in that it provides a classical liberal arts education beginning in elementary school.

The GCP motto, Sapere Aude-Dare to Know, represents both the process and the endpoint of a classical liberal arts education. Rather than waiting until high school or college, GCP students form the mindset for critical thinking and learn cultural literacy from the very beginning of their educational journey.

They are taught the integrative nature of knowledge. Their broad education includes history, literature, art, and the systematic natures of language (English, Latin and Spanish), as well as math, science, and logic.

This rigorous curriculum, with a well defined program for the development of critical thinking, is designed to create the global leaders of tomorrow.

The Latin School Of Chicago is a co-educational independent day school for students in grades junior kindergarten through twelve. The Latin School seeks to be one of the finest independent schools in the nation.

To achieve this goal, the School is committed to educating students to lead lives of purpose and excellence; enabling students to develop their individual talents and abilities, and encouraging them to appreciate learning as a lifelong endeavor; creating an educational environment in which the pursuit of academic excellence and intellectual growth is complemented by a concern for the moral, physical, psychological, and aesthetic development of each student; providing a supportive school experience in which students develop a strong sense of self-esteem in an atmosphere of mutual respect; preparing students for success in college and beyond, and being a diverse school community that respects cultural differences and appreciates the common experiences that bring us together.
