The Academy Group works with families from 65+ schools across Chicago, including neighborhood, magnet, charter, and selective institutions.
95% of the students we serve are black and brown and we will continue to expand our reach to support young people from Chicago’s most resilient communities. In addition, we serve young adults who attend a broad range of colleges and universities.
