At a Glance

Chicago Talent is a College-Prep Academy that links learning with career experiences. While our Freshman Success Academy focuses on helping students successfully transition from 8th grade to high school, our Media & Technology and Health & Human Service Career Academies focus on preparing students for professional life in college and careers. Courses include career explorations and provide internship opportunities that make learning come to life.

We believe Great Teachers have the biggest impact on student achievement. Our professional teaching faculty have an active voice in the life of the school and meet daily to plan lessons, create team activities, and review each student’s academic and social progress. Experienced instructional coaches work with each teacher inside the classroom to continually ensure best teaching practices.

As the forerunner in a network of charter high schools managed by Union Park High Schools, Inc., Chicago Talent benefits from being a member of a larger educational network, while also enjoying the independence and personalization unique to small learning communities. Intentionally established in the heart of the West Garfield Park neighborhood, Chicago Talent strives to realize its mission of graduating all students prepared for college, career, and civic life.
