Greetings from Bannockburn School!
We're excited to get to know you!
Here's a little bit about who we are...
Bannockburn School District 106 was established in 1930 in Lake County, Illinois. The District boundaries take in the Village of Bannockburn including Trinity International University, the easternmost section of Riverwoods, Del Mar Woods, unincorporated areas of West Deerfield and Vernon Townships, and the western edge of Highland Park. Although the District is small in size, it educates a diverse student population.
Today, Bannockburn School houses less than 200 students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Our students typically achieve top statewide scores on all measures. In addition to customary regular and special education programs, the school provides the following enhancements:
- Foreign language instruction to students from kindergarten through eighth grade
- Algebra for most students during their eighth grade year
- Science taught in a laboratory setting beginning in the first grade
- Students use a variety of technological tools in their studies across curricular areas. The ration of students to computers is approximately 1:1.
Students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of extra curricular activities. We offer band, orchestra, choir, interscholastic boys' and girls' basketball and volleyball, a professionally directed school play, and a variety of after-school enrichment activities.
We are the 6th, 7th and 8th graders of Bannockburn School!

School opens for a new term
Its very interesting and encouraging that the students were able to check out the new changes that have been made to their blog and they were very happy to see that their partner school's blog has been merged to theirs and they can now be able to share their ideas on the same page.
Rafiki link patron is also very happy to receive a digital camera that will be used for Rafiki activities in the school and good news that Rafiki link will offer an opportunity to her to attend internet classes, this is a very good start for Rafiki link this term.
