Foundations College Prep

Foundations College Prep is an innovative public charter school on Chicago's Far South Side. For the 2017-18 school year, we will serve grades 6-10, eventually growing to be a full middle/high school. Our mission is to empower youth to thrive in college and life by giving them access to innovative educators who teach them to think critically, live with honor, and strive for a better self and world.

At Foundations College Prep, we believe that children who come to school with less deserve more, yet we know “more” cannot rest solely on teachers. Our founding motivation is the belief that addressing the scale of our educational inequities requires a relentless focus on designing excellent schools that depend on talented, committed staff, not heroics. We are committed to being an excellent place to work; a school that values and treats students and teachers as individuals. We are looking for exceptional individuals for our founding team who believe all children can achieve at the highest levels, and embody an entrepreneurial, growth-minded nature. If that is you, apply now to change students’ lives everyday with Foundations College Prep.
