Admissions

Located in Chicago’s most culturally diverse neighborhood, APMA is a Level 1+ school and is one of the few junior high schools in Chicago devoted solely to 7th and 8th graders. It is home to just under 250 students.

We believe that.. 

• APMA graduates can advocate for themselves with confidence and effective communication. They will approach all situations with an open, creative and perseverant mindset.
• APMA graduates will demonstrate empathy and compassion towards others by recognizing injustice, and by being upstanders who take action in order to make the world a better place.
• APMA graduates are lifelong, confident, healthy learners who ask questions as they have a curiosity for continued learning. They are critical thinkers, readers, problem solvers, and communicators,  able to decode their surroundings and effect change as informed and involved world citizens.

If you live within the attendance area, you are automatically guaranteed admission to our school.

Registration is necessary and two documents proving your address are required.
