Alexander Hamilton Fine and Performing Arts School Hamilton, a pre-k through 8th-grade Chicago Public School, pairs rigorous academics with the arts

Located in the heart of West Lakeview, Hamilton is a Fine and Performing Arts Magnet Schol dedicated to serving students in our neighborhood and those from across the city. Our comprehensive and inclusive curriculum is designed to challenge and support all students from preschool through eighth grade by providing them with a strong foundation for success. We provide a nurturing, safe, and supportive learning environment so Hamilton students can reach their academic and personal potential. Small student-to-staff ratios and inclusion classrooms ensure individualized learning while building community between students and teachers. Throughout our community, Hamilton is known for working hard, playing fair, and caring for each other; we will continue to build upon these traditions for years to come.

Check out Hamilton Elementary’s very own Grant on ABC7 Chicago’s morning show, spreading the word about Music Will! 🎶.

Music Will brings music education to public schools that have lost arts funding, giving students opportunities to discover their musical talents and express their creativity. We’re proud to see Grant helping share this mission!

Media Class worked hard this year to create a unique item to sell at this year's Newsies concession stand. We mashed up a traditional cross body newspaper carry bag, from the Newsies world, with some fun black "punk rock" black cloth patches. Bags will be for sale at the concession stand and then patches can be purchased separately, to make your bag your own, or just buy a patch to put on whatever you like. All patches have an iron on backer to easily assemble at home. We hope you enjoy wearing them as much as we enjoyed making them!

Our 3rd graders are diving into science through exciting “Who Would Win?” style projects!

They’ve been practicing science skills like forming hypotheses, making observations, researching evidence, and using critical thinking while exploring animal adaptations, habitats, and survival strategies.

Families were able to come see our young scientists showcase their creativity and discoveries!
