Noble’s approach has proven what is possible in urban education. Despite our growth from one school to ten, we still have 3,000 students on a waiting list, and that number grows every year. Many students are travelling an hour or more to get to a Noble campus because there are not enough quality high school options throughout the city. We believe our eighth graders should not wait any longer to receive the education they deserve. Noble is committed to continue its expansion so that any Chicago student seeking to attend a Noble school will have that privilege.
To make this a reality, we need your support.
Noble plans to expand from ten schools to sixteen and double our enrollment to serve more than 10% of Chicago’s high school students. As a public charter school, Noble receives a high percentage of its operating budget from city, state, and federal sources, but that does not cover our start-up costs. When we open a new school, we invest in the facility to bring it up to the standards that our students deserve, such as state-of-the-art science laboratories, safe and functional athletic spaces, classrooms that make efficient use of technology, and creative spaces for music and the arts. Noble is now turning to the private sector for the $30 million necessary to underwrite this expansion and provide the start-up costs related to its six new campuses.
