Chicago Academy High School and Chicago Academy Elementary School/Former Wilbur Wright College

             Chicago Academy High School is housed on the third floor of the former Wilbur Wright Junior College (later Wilbur Wright College) building at 3400 N. Austin Ave., which was opened in 1934. The building was completed in 1930 and originally served as a junior high school until 1933, when it was converted to an elementary school and high school branch for two years. The Navy took over the building from 1941 to 1946 to offer training classes during World War II. A library was added in 1961, which now houses part of the high school. Wright College moved to its new location at N. Narragansett and W. Montrose Avenue in 1993.

Chicago Academy High School opened in 2004. In its first year, it operated classes for ninth grade, adding a grade each year until its first class graduated in 2008. The Chicago Academy Elementary School opened in 2001. It was Chicago Public School’s first contract school as well as its first school-based teacher preparation program for aspiring teachers. In its first year, it operated classes from prekindergarten through fourth grade. In 2002, the school added fifth- and sixth-grade classes, and in 2003 and 2004 seventh and eighth grades, respectively.
