A Message from the Principal

Paz is part of the Acero Schools network. At Acero Schools, our mission is transforming minds through academic empowerment and success. We provide a strong academic foundation for students at the elementary level to help them master the fundamental skills necessary for success in high school and beyond.

Opened in 1998, Paz Elementary was the very first school in the Acero Schools network which has now expanded to 15 schools across the Chicagoland area. Paz serves approximately 200 students from kindergarten to eighth grade. The school prides itself on a rigorous curriculum, bilingual education and strong parent partnerships. Paz provides a safe and inclusive learning environment for all families. Paz offers free on-site after school programming through the Boys and Girls Club. 

At Paz, our school is here for your scholar. We are dedicated to engaging students in critical thinking, problem solving and innovation with a focus on community and citizenship. We are dedicated to actively demonstrating our 5 Core Acero Values: Achievement, Community, Equity, Resilience, Optimism.
