The Academy is located in Schaumburg, Illinois, which has grown to become the largest retail economic hub outside of Chicago, Illinois. Schaumburg is also a well-developed residential community with a nature sanctuary, center for the arts, convention center, over 80 miles of bike paths, and hiking trails.

Schaumburg is the home to Woodfield Mall, one of the largest enclosed malls in the country; the Chicago Athenaeum, a museum of architecture and design; the second largest IKEA, a Swedish based home furnishing store; large corporations, including IBM, Intel, Xerox, A.C. Nielsen, Zurich and Motorola; and many restaurants and hotels.

Schaumburg has various types of homes to fit every lifestyle, including single-family homes, duplexes and townhomes. Many neighborhoods border parks or nature preserves, and are convenient to shopping and transportation. Although Schaumburg is recognized as a center of business and commercial activity, residents have a genuine sense of community.

In addition to shopping at Woodfield Mall, tourist are often drawn to Schaumburg to enjoy the annual “Septemberfest”, held during Labor Day weekend; and to experience 11th century style dining with a jousting tournament at Medieval Times.
