About Noble
Noble’s mission is to ensure that all students have equitable and positive school experiences that equip them to complete college and lead choice-filled lives. Noble serves more than 12,700 students and 20,000 alumni across 17 open-enrollment, free, public schools in Chicago. We are proud to be recognized nationally for college access and persistence. 98% of our graduates are accepted into college.
At Noble “antiracism” isn’t a buzzword. We have made significant policy and structural changes to demonstrate our commitment to anti-racism and fighting the systemic inequities in the communities we serve. These changes include building curricula that welcomes and affirms each student’s unique identity, and ensuring that all our community members - including students, families, and staff - have the space to be their authentic selves, ensuring that their voices are heard. Join Noble in supporting the growth of our students, staff and communities!
