About Noble:
Noble Street Charter School was established in 1999 to provide educational choice for students
throughout Chicago seeking to build a foundation for college success. Thanks to support from the
Chicago Public School district and generous donors, we have opened ten Noble Street campuses since
1999. Our vision is that by the year 2020, there will be 2,020 Noble scholars who have earned college
degrees, which will have a dramatic impact on their lives, our city, and our movement.
Noble Street Charter Schools are results-driven and unrelenting in preparing historically underserved
Chicago students for college. Noble Street focuses on academic excellence, self-discipline, health and
fitness, and community service to prepare students for college and citizenship. UIC College Prep, the
LSV Campus of Noble Street Charter School, is one of the nation's first public non-selective schools on a
college campus. Join us in our mission to ensure Chicago students achieve the dream of going to college,
graduating from college, and making a positive multi-generational change.
Scholarship. Discipline. Honor. The Noble Way.
