It is with a very heavy heart that we share the news that Academia will be closing our doors permanently as of Tuesday, March 17, 2020. Although the coronavirus pandemic has only just started, it has significant consequences for our ability to run the business.

The sensible and responsible choice is to close now and ensure we meet our financial obligations including: 

• our staff is paid; 
• our families receive refunds; 
• families have as much time as possible to find alternative care arrangements in case schools resume sessions, or to find alternatives for summer camp. 

Magical Minds and Seed Montessori are both great local options we would recommend families support. 

We have cancelled all recurring payments, and families have been sent information about when refunds will be processed. The customer services team will remain online at info@chicagoacademia.com to support you and process refunds. We will not have staff taking phone calls, monitoring voicemail, or responding to social media during this busy time. Please direct all communications to info@chicagoacademia.com.

Thank you so much for a wonderful experience of serving the amazing families of this community. We have absolutely loved it.
