The UChicago Charter School is a public charter school within the Chicago Public Schools district and composed of three campuses serving approximately 1500 preK-12 students on Chicago’s South Side. Our campuses share a common goal, which is to prepare 100% of our students for college acceptance and graduation through a preK-12 “superhighway” that cultivates culturally aware critical thinkers and leaders.
