The
Namaste Way
Namaste Charter School sets itself apart
from other schools by taking a holistic approach
to education. The philosophy at Namaste is to help
students achieve optimal academic performance by
nourishing and stimulating the mind and the body
of each child. Because research shows students who
are healthy and active perform better in the classroom,
Namaste integrates physical fitness and nutrition
as core components of its rigorous academic curriculum
to provide a learning environment that is often
difficult to attain, especially in inner city schools.
By breaking down the barriers to good health and
improving opportunities for high academic achievement,
Namaste can help each and every student know and
reach his or her true potential.
Namaste is a public elementary charter school in Chicago located on the southwest side of the city in McKinley Park. In the current 2011 - 2012 school year (our eighth school year), Namaste serves 450 students in Kindergarten through eighth grades.
