A Message from the Principal

Murray Language Academy is a magnet school located in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood, just north of the University of Chicago and the Museum of Science and Industry. Murray’s magnet specialty is its world language learning program, which teaches French, Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish to every student, from kindergarten through eighth grade.

We feel that parent involvement is an intricate component of our student’s education. The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) sponsors programs to support our curriculum such as: Back-to-School Celebration; Monthly Movie Nights; Scholastic Book Fair; World Language Fair; K-8 Science Fair; African-American Heritage Fair; Honors Tea Awards; End of Year Fun Fair; Annual Walk-a-thon; Literacy Night; K-2 Ice cream Social.
