Every effort is made to keep tuition and fees affordable for the community served.
This building was totally renovated in 1997 and provides an excellent new home for all NPES classes, kindergarten through eighth grade.

Our move from this community resulted from our inability to locate a facility which would allow all grades to be consolidated at one site. We have maintained strong ties to our North Park and Peterson Park communities, and are developing similar community relationships in our new Ravenswood, Lincoln Square and Lakeview neighborhoods.
