About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

The Lab School has been a Chicago institution for years. Since 1896, it has been educating the children of the city's elite. Currently, it is in danger of falling behind the Chicago Public Schools due to it's outdated short school day. Chicago Public Schools administrators relying on the best available data have determined that students need a 7 and a half hour school day. Do our city's elite deserve any less?

Extend your school day by 105 minutes by adding more test prep.

The Lab School has been a Chicago institution for years. Since 1896, it has been educating the children of the city's elite. Currently, it is in danger of falling behind the Chicago Public Schools due to it's outdated short school day. Chicago Public Schools administrators relying on the best available data have determined that students need a 7 and a half hour school day. Do our city's elite deserve any less? Certainly, your students can only benefit by nearly two more hours of seat work per day.
