Our Mission:  Cultivating Excellence, Empowering Girls

​

In service to this mission, CMS provides:

• a challenging curriculum that encourages girls to set high expectations for themselves;

• small class sizes that allow a high level of student participation and teacher attention;

• diverse curriculum offerings that allow girls to explore an array of subjects, express themselves creatively, and work toward mastery in a variety of disciplines;

• a safe and positive social environment that enables adolescent girls to achieve a sense of emotional and physical well-being;

• community service opportunities that encourage students to become reflective, responsible global citizens;

• close ties to the University of Illinois and surrounding community that expose students to working scholars, laboratories, museums, libraries and other resources.
