All-boys Catholic high school in Chicago with specialized learning difference and ADD/ADHD support programs for grades 9-12
Mount Carmel High School is an all-boys Catholic high school in Chicago serving grades 9–12 with a specific commitment to students of different academic abilities. The school recognizes that supporting the whole person—spiritually, intellectually, and physically—is essential to education, particularly for students with learning differences who benefit from a structured, values-centered environment.
Mount Carmel offers dedicated support through its Learning Difference Programs and ADD/ADHD Support services, designed to help students with these challenges succeed academically and socially. With 618 students and a student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 13:1, the school provides a smaller, more personalized setting where students with special needs can receive targeted attention alongside their mainstream coursework. The school's comprehensive athletics program (18+ sports) and robust clubs and organizations create inclusive opportunities for all students to participate and build confidence.
Tuition is $12,800 annually, with 75% of students receiving financial aid and a "cost-certain scholarship program" to make enrollment accessible. The school has a 96% acceptance rate and welcomes students with diverse academic profiles.
