Welcome to Murray Language Academy

Murray Language Academy is a World Language Magnet School. Students receive lessons in French, Spanish, Mandarin or Japanese. Murray’s external partnerships include the University of Chicago, which assists with technology and other instructional support, and the South Side Arts Partnership, which helps to incorporate fine arts into core learning areas.

Our vision is to create a learning environment that promotes, inspires, and nurtures academic success and civic understanding for all students to the maximum extent possible, and encourage them to be socially responsible lifelong learners.
