Algonquin’s Vision: The educators of Algonquin will actively commit to creating a stimulating, language-rich environment that is developmentally appropriate, implements best practices, and is differentiated to meet the needs of every student. The classrooms will capture the individuality of the whole child, encourage students’ curiosity and creativity, and prepare them for future success.

We were so fortunate to have a magic show here at Algonquin on Tuesday, April 30 . This magic show was donated to us by Sauk Trail Baptist ! Your child brought home a free ticket to their FREE magic show. We had a WONDERFUL time!
