Education

Great cities prepare the next generation.

The future of Chicago is inextricably linked to our youth and the success of our schools. Education prepares our workforce, strengthens families and communities, and brings intellectual vitality to everything we do. Our ability to prepare all of our youth for the future says a lot about who we are and what we want our future to look like.

We advance high-quality education and equitable access to opportunity for all Chicago students to prepare them for lifelong success and fulfillment. We focus on:

  • High quality learning experiences
  • Equitable distribution of resources
  • Connectivity across the continuum
  • Strong strategy and operations
