The Kensington School on Kensington Avenue in La Grange is one of eight private schools in the Kensington School network, which was founded in 1969 by Barbara Marlas.
This particular location is special because it includes the first school house in La Grange, built in 1894, which was formerly owned by and part of St. Xavier School in La Grange.
The school offers nursery programs for children six weeks to 24 months old; preschool and junior kindergarten for two- to four-year-old children; full-day kindergartens and programs for school-age children.
