Noble Street Charter School opened in 1999 with the mission of preparing Chicago students with the scholarship, discipline and honor needed to excel in college and citizenship. Since that time, Noble has consistently ranked among the highest performing non-selective schools in the city, while serving an 86% low income student population.

In 2005, the Noble Network of Charter Schools was established to replicate the Noble model in cooperation with the Chicago Public Schools’ Renaissance 2010 program. The Noble Network supports the collective mission of Noble campuses by accessing financial and human resources, administering programs and services that serve the common good of their students and employees, and seeking partnership opportunities for successfully opening additional campuses. We have opened four Noble campuses throughout Chicago, and will open additional campuses in the near future to help us achieve our 2020 vision: 2,020 college graduates by the year 2020.
