Namaste Charter School


  • Mission

    Namaste Charter School promotes lifelong student success and a love of learning by implementing and sharing a groundbreaking education model that combines health and wellness with academic rigor in a peaceful environment.

    About Us

    Located in the McKinley Park neighborhood of Chicago, Namaste was designed to help fill the void for Chicago Public Schools students who deserve a high-quality education, access to healthful food and nutrition education, and opportunities for sufficient physical activity. Namaste was purposefully designed as a school that educates the whole child through high-quality, student-centered academics; opportunities that promote social-emotional growth; nutrition and wellness instruction; and ample time for movement and creativity. Namaste's holistic, comprehensive approach to education builds student's independent academic skills alongside health and wellness skills so students graduate from Namaste fully prepared for academic success in high school and college.
