Dooley serves more than 400 students in kindergarten through sixth grade. Dooley is a Nationally Recognized Blue Ribbon School and received an Academic Excellence Award from the Illinois State Board of Education in 2009 and 2010.

Dooley School is a unique blend of neighborhood school and open enrollment school. Our school community is made up of students and families in kindergarten through sixth grade who participate in the general education program, the English-Japanese Dual Language program and/or the Early Instrumental Music (EIM) program. Each of these programs offers students excellent educational opportunities as well as opportunities to make friends and develop a love of learning.

In our general education program, students in first through sixth grade work in multiage teams with students from two grade levels in each classroom. The grades are clustered as follows: first and second grade, third and fourth grade, and fifth and sixth grade.

In the English-Japanese Dual Language program, students work in bilingual teams with students from English-speaking homes and Japanese-speaking homes working together to learn both languages while also learning math, science and social science in English and Japanese.

Students who participate in the EIM program learn to play violin through the Suzuki method beginning in kindergarten.

In addition to providing an excellent education, Dooley’s faculty offers special activities for students including the following:  Student Council, Rainbows, Japanese Speech Club, Choral Club, Environmental Club, Safety Patrols, Web Club, Homework Club and Battle of the Books.

Childcare is available before and after school at Dooley through a partnership with the Schaumburg Park District and its KASPER program.

A full continuum of special services is available to students in District 54. Children have access to early childhood programs, which are clustered geographically. Each of the elementary schools has gifted resource services for children not enrolled in the magnet classes at Campanelli.
