The Avery Coonley School (ACS) is a nationally recognized leader in gifted education. Established in 1906, we offer advanced and gifted learners in preschool through eighth grade a curriculum with the depth, pace, and complexity to challenge them to the fullest. All ACS faculty are experienced with and understand the emotional and educational needs of gifted children and are skilled at differentiating instruction to support individual learners. Over three-quarters of our faculty hold advanced degrees, and the average tenure of an ACS teacher is nine years. Our campus is located in Downers Grove, Illinois, on 13 beautiful, wooded acres. Our facilities include inspiring learning spaces with state-of-the-art technology, flexible spaces for individual and collaborative work, an expansive art studio, music rooms, a library, a gymnasium, and a Makerspace. The campus includes 9,000 square feet of outdoor play areas, a challenge course, an athletic field, an outdoor swimming pool, and a pond.
