Enrico Tonti School's vision is to promote academic excellence, self-confidence, multi-cultural awareness and team building. Through the use of data analysis, collaboration, and a rigorous curriculum enhanced by the arts and sciences, students will leave Tonti prepared to seek and take advantage of the opportunities available to them in their academic lives and beyond. Enrico Tonti Elementary Scho
ol was built in 1928 in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago. About a decade ago, we added a twelve-room annex and last year we added a 4 room modular building for our full day Kindergarten classes. At Tonti, we have 40 classroom teachers, 5 special needs teachers, 15 bilingual Spanish speaking classroom teachers, and 13 classroom aides. As a community school, we offer Parent Training Classes in computers, literacy, nutrition, wellness, parenting, and GED classes as well as various other after school programs. Tonti's PTA , LSC, BAC, and PAC work together to fundraise to provide students with field trips and other incentives throughout the year.
