spaces within our our open house so there we do have a magnet program that names for different programs of study as you can see on the slide right now we have our rib ACP formerly known as devil honors and honors program is more industrial out the session first welcome to Lincoln Park High School again I'm looking outside my window right now and saying the beautiful sign outside and the hill around around our school in the slide right here just and we are one of the oldest high schools in the city of Chicago and then see that this is a space that we will return to and we're excited about the opportunity for you as we talked about schools and I know all about a lot of you were in eighth grade are you in 7th grade are just checking some things out a little bit earlier it's important that you reflect and think about what is the right school for you important thing that's going to happen when you're transitioning to college it is important Master looking at different college options you got to think about what are the offerings, what makes this a unique experience for me and is this is this the pathway that I want to be on and Company sure that Linkin Park is is that school I want to learn more about us we are an international Baccalaureate School in tires we have specific programs of study or something unique about our neighborhood school is that you have access to the international Baccalaureate experience on that means that all 9th and 10th grade students to come in the middle years program Florence the initial what does it mean to be an IB student that's where you learn to become knowledgeable risk-takers reflective 30 elements of being an IB School we also want to focus on is called approaches to learning and this makes it very unique for the Philosopher's flight to be around education and learning at Lincoln Park High School through an IB International Baccalaureate program in school so as an IV World School is approaches to learning I can help you become communicators they help income Sarah Fleck I self reflecting communicators these are life skills you can use anywhere or anything and it's really important as being an IB School I bet all students have access access to this morning students all of our in our guidebook you'll see information Evermore about IBM what does it mean to be an IB for all school all students experience what is an image that weave shop for previously in this important pieces it's not just about academics it's about being well-rounded it's about having unique opportunities it's about being a diverse school and learning from each other these are important qualities about us not every school is like Lincoln Park High School so we want you to be a part of this teacher experience what we have an increase in financial aid as you're going to the colleges of the right fit for you are their potential Varsity Sport opportunities that we can expand on or that you want to be a part of he wants you to think about as we continue to grow as a school isn't important programs of study what does that mean what are the options at Lincoln Park High School and and what does that Journey look like for me as a student's or my child and so we have three programs of study program of studies restart your in your freshman year and you carry through the 4 year experience in that program of study that you're going to have the ID experience matter what program of study that you enter in specific B programs of study your year in the screen is the international Baccalaureate diploma program so ibdp and some of the terminologies it's used around severe IBD this is something the diploma program is a program in which after your sophomore year you enter into the diploma program your Junior and senior year in the application for the IB program as an eighth grader entering a 9th grader you like this is the pathway that I want to go why what is it about it you have the full IB experience at our school a going into your Junior and Senior year all IB diploma program classes that were going to leave options for you we have students who are going into college and they have her entire freshman year classes already completed are IB diploma program is not just about preparing you for college is helping you advance far into it so that you are more than prepared to be successful after your experience at Lincoln Park High School it also what's your experience a variety of different class offering after taking classes you're taking the holistic approach to learning in this something kind of mentioned before it's learning about science you're becoming the science that style you're not just learning about our you're really thinking about what it means to be an it in that way and it's a really is this is this the program has been around since 1980 there's a clear line of pathway in which are entertaining some of the highest level of math in the city and it's something that this the IB diploma program is well-known for and we want you to have that opportunity to participate as you apply for that program on whether you're in Siri or not it's what you get accepted for IDP program guarantees you a seat in that program that we have the next best amount that we have but I'm at obviously we'll talk a little bit more about this as I go to the presentation for the ibdp but we have another program with their IB Program our careers program Associated to which is also an opportunity to engage further in IB diploma in but our other through the application process that you're saying now these are for students who want curriculum individualized you may see in the application process it may not say Advanced college prep on it on this would have been wouldn't have been the double honors program Define what does that experience look like yes it's double honor to take a series of classes but we want students to have a pathway with an outcome associated with this program would be a part of this is where maybe a little different senior year that you want any type of class or AP classes is it something that maybe you're just a person who's really extremely interested in exploring Math and Science opportunities that you're trying to find balance with exploring academic classes as well as Visual and Performing Arts it's are performing and Visual Arts Magnet program again this is where students really pursuing interests and Orchestra choir drama Visual Arts band really coming that individual has amazing the session later and I really hope that you would join and learn more about our teachers are dedicated and what we're dealing with make sure the students have resources creating a great space for all of our kids I'm just really proud of all our teachers not just in the Forum hours for Dollar to call our programs for creating us supports that's our third program study that's something that you're interested in so what are these programs of study what does that mean that I do I apply for what happened in my my learning experience when I come to Lincoln Park what you see right here in the slide do we have for you in the street programs when you enter into your 9th and 10th grade years what you see is everyone is in the middle years program we've had four cheers everyone is having that initial IB experience now students will enter in the middle years program classes now we do have some classes their middle years program classes are aligned with the free diploma now this is where a student who say when they're coming to Advanced College Prep program support in English and social studies that really experienced high level of math experience I want access to those classes Advanced College Prep program still be able to take some of those nyp pre diploma programs are sophomore year access to Opportunities access to learning pathway you can explore different options and this is the same thing for our farming visual first program is students to enter into the classes as well as of the student and that's what we want to emphasize here individualizing everyone experience everyone's experience you're not getting cookie cutter you're not just getting into one space that you have multiple opportunities for learning some students come into a high school what they want to do maybe there are different types of thinking all of our students that opportunity to learn more about the diploma if you come through the advanced College Prep program I think that may be an option for me I never had an ID experience before now I know some of you in the audience right now you're coming from IB schools you're going to the middle years program 1 2 and 3 and you're going to transition right into your 4 and 5 at Experian you know how to give that flexibility and opportunity for all of our students during their ninth and tenth grade years to figure themselves out I swear it disappointed learning what does next steps are in and it's a difficult Choice going from 8 to 9 grade to make that High School decision so what happened that 9th and 10th grade years gone to the middle years program you had these experiences until 11th and 12th grade program pathway enter into the junior class will start taking ibdp specific classes and again these classes are aligned to get high school get college credit as they go through High School Credit in all the different areas exploring so this is a unique opportunity for our students have a lot of post-secondary experiences post-secondary credits and so those students who can me and continue to read can be a part of other options do I'm finding balance with performing and visual arts and being in the diploma program again we don't want to limit people's access an opportune mean to this Advanced College Prep program you've heard again double honors in the past a series of classes that you take the others that are rigorous Define what does that mean what what does that experience look like for a student is going through we could also stay in advance the series of classes that I want to take it I'm really interested it will take you can take some of the classes based on what are academic strengths do you have this allows you to consider what are the secondary opportunities for you to experience your child is really strong and Science and Math want to take more classes for college Credit in science math so you can take IV BP science or math classes as well as advanced as well as advanced placement math and science classes have more credits as you're going into college we're also going to look at your credit classes for our students Advanced College Prep program what a student would take in a dual-credit and dual-credit means you get high school credit as well as getting college credit in class am I taking a dual credit class in Tennessee or better in that class you would get credit each of these programs that the credits transfer differently to different schools based off of that again we see within the eye diploma program summer class credit transfers are international what score on the outfit is for you and so that's something that you would want a sea and explore within that advanced College Prep program in the AP class but it's about knowing who you are and knowing what type of Hollinger interested in they were looking at expanding our Partnerships college credits will transfer in the sea within our performing Visual Arts taking high-level glass ID career-related AP honors level classes it's really just going to be based on your interest and the individual has experienced that we want all right so I'm dancing into this I do see a question that came up and so I want to make sure with what we're talking about earlier that I'm able to answer that question can I start my freshman year in ACP then transfer to Ivy before my junior year is designed to give you experiences and preparation I need to come to ACP Advanced College Prep program and your junior year maybe in your freshman year this is the pathway that I want to go restricted to a pathway I'm using that if you're hiking sometimes you can afford your own path you take different and so we want to make sure that we have that flexibility for you so going through the sophomore year into the junior year it's really reporting going into that Junior year and are able to commit to that cuz then you are getting into a 2-year space or we want to make sure that we have not listened to your pathway for you but that preparation for secondary experiences what happens after high school college alternative interest options for you as a high school and we need those two years to help Focus the supports on you and align with your interest so I see some of the questions that have come up I think you for some of those who are estimating some questions beforehand so yes we are in neighborhood school we are not specifically with called selective and so selective enrollment schools are experienced people riding their bike with a unicorn helmet you don't have that you don't have this we have our attendance area division all the way to the North Street serious of students who are in our attendance area automatically neighborhood high school if you are a neighborhood High School the IB diploma program pathway that you do apply to it cuz it guarantees that you have a seat starting in your 9th grade year to continue all the way to your 12th grade year if you just enter as being part of the area you'll be able to make adjustments throughout the route your experience at Lincoln Park High School but we'll have to really do some thinking beforehand about how when making the bed fit best options for you I'm so I do encourage if you're not sure that you also DPT program but we do have with magnet programs and that's what makes the neighborhood school but really our neighborhood is the city of Chicago we have students who are coming from 111th Street all the way Westside Westside I mean we have to from all over so that is a part of everybody and then we have our direct these six distinct magnet program and two other students so somebody who is really talented and wants to be a part of our amazing Band program Buy in the city Chicago see as I go in for me see this one really quickly I'm I did see one that popped out if I'm interested in general education program Asthma as a magnet should I like ACP an answer would be yes that's going to give you that opportunity through the advanced College Prep program to have more of that generalize experience for you too as you go through your freshman and sophomore year so you know I really want to concentrate in The Sciences concentrate different banks art classes but maybe some music classes as well so it really last week and do things a little bit differently to honor question that we have here there are two ways to become an LP line what seems that live in our attendance area again automatic access to Lincoln Park High School and we would like this to be your number one choice based on the experiences that you will have your area soon if they want to be guaranteed a spot outside of neighborhood magnet program office again we have our IB Magnet called PDP in-house free diploma program that means you would be accepted into nyp program with the intention to it we have our Advanced College Prep program double honors in which you will still take classes over the course of four years based on your interest Performing Arts vocal we have her Performing Arts instrumental we ever Performing Arts drama and we have our visual arts program and that's the next session I hope you join us as well so that's an overview of our school on it so that there is some time to be able to answer some questions if this is not the same as us all being Auditorium unless you were standing outside my window right now and I had them open so we can talk and interact the best way to do this to make sure that we have some space to be able to answer specific questions based on our conversation today I want you to really take these opportunities to reflect on it. What does it mean to be to join the pride what does it mean to be a part of his experiences that you're not going to find any other high school or not special place it's Special Districts are teachers or students just one little thing we did our textbook resource pick up and just seeing your students direct us how they love being a part of this it's special right now the Halls are empty of schools on we turned our bells on so we can make a little bit more normal but since we'll be back in the house again we want your child to be a part of that we want you to join have these unique experiences that come with being a part of Lincoln Park High School but this time I'm going to take any other additional questions that come I come up so I'm seeing all right good question so if students aren't sure if they want through the IB diploma program Advanced College Prep program did they apply for both programs interesting question what I would say is if you're really looking I was start with the IB on the program has been your number one priority because it guarantees you a seat in all of those diploma program free diploma program you're not sure if that's the best kind of the list that you want I'm do you want to have with a family member with your current teachers counselor discount no guarantees in all of this if you apply to the advanced College Prep it will give you a mix of those classes depending on their interest but I would focus on the IB diploma program is that something we want to make sure that as you continue to the mail years program tonight in 10th grade year that we're meeting your needs and then we're able to reflect and learn with you about what your interests are what's got about 6 minutes left any more questions you guys can throw my way I'm ready I'm looking off to my wife that's where I have a series of questions are as she left. So it's kind of looking and seeing any more questions all right so I see a question about signs offerings awesome alright got some future scientist out there I love it I love it I love it so again through the different classes types of classes in experience is this where we can reach out to our science department chair to see the different types of classes you can take so you can an IB diploma program classes where you're really kind of thinking we want to make sure that you have additional kind of classes that we could potentially offer with our science program has been doing this from home so I definitely if you're interested in knowing more about the science offer I just want to put you in touch with our team and thanks for that talk about we have some we have our last year were actually this summer we're expanding we're going to have a run relation to our Labs department chair does know but that we've come in to do an audit of ours are science classes what enhancements that we can provide to our signs by semi on the way so you're the first take a question so if my if my student enters into the IB program is incoming freshman and finds a to challenging program options we want to make sure that we're providing supports for students to be successful in all their classes but at some point you know where that's not the best fit for the student and we look and see what other options there are for the students are going to the 9th and 10th grade all students the going to the junior-senior near we would want to have a conversation about what is that specific class that the student is struggling with her doesn't want doesn't want to pursue that. Then we went to look at individualize it and we have a magnificent counselors high school students what you need and send really bill that that partnership with families but also partnership an important experience that we think through what those options are the best fit for you all right average class size depending on the types of courses we offered 92 is 96 a 9296 unique David kind glasses meme there's only one class until we have tons of different opportunities so some of those are kind of usually in the myth in the mid-20s range 20 you still over 20 depends on the specific want to minimize the size of the class the students have more access and opportunity any other questions better stop 2 minutes for our next break I'm so I know this is something thank you for this question I'm about to be a freshman what is that what the Freshman experience so are freshmen when they come to Lincoln Park High School we have two buildings I'm asking you hear about the mall we have these two buildings the one I'm currently in the hill when is Superstars this what is a freshman and all of our students are in what is our Freshman building and this is important for a different feeder schools with that's what makes us our neighborhood School our neighbourhoods larger than just here and get to learn from each other we have 2200 students in the school but they have opportunity to be in the building together, community and learn about each other and that's important experience here at Lincoln Park High School so I want to make sure that we're conscious of your legs leg-breaks and stretch its 1:30 right now so I thank you for joining us we will have a Q&A section later in the day questions we haven't answered give us a five-minute break our visual performing arts section
