Chiaravalle (“Care-a-volley”) is a non-denominational, Montessori, independent, co-educational school for children ages 2-14. The school is primarily housed in an architecturally significant Daniel Burnham brick schoolhouse blocks west of Lake Michigan in the Lakeshore Historic District of Evanston. The name is taken from the birthplace of Maria Montessori and means “Valley of Light.”
