Did you know that LEARN started even before it became a charter 25 years ago?
What began with two classrooms in North Lawndale in 1980 has paved the way for transformational educational opportunities in North Lawndale and beyond. Today, LEARN serves 4,000 students across 11 campuses, but our mission remains the same: providing an exceptional public education and supporting students far beyond graduation.
The recent feature in Better Magazine/Make It Better Foundation highlights what makes our work impactful: dedicated educators who stay and grow with us, alumni who return, and give back, and generations of students who are empowered to reach their goals.
Thank you to our students, families, staff, alumni, supporters and partners who have made this work possible.
