Plato Academy, founded in 1952, is an independent school that actively engages children in their own learning and is responsive to every child’s developmental needs. Plato is recognized by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), meaning the school’s educational program has been approved by ISBE.

Service learning lies at the core, providing a springboard for knowledge and skill acquisition for even the youngest of children.
