Namaste
School Model
Namaste Charter School was created in an
effort to fill the void for more high quality education
for students within the Chicago Public School System.
The innovative approach to maximize the learning
experience includes implementing a “year round”
schedule in which students attend school for three
consecutive months and then have a one-month break.
The daily class schedule is also unique in that
it includes breakfast and lunch to ensure the students
are well-nourished, as well as a Family Breakfast
each week. The school day is also extended to 7
1/2 hours (with early release on Fridays) to allow
ample time for regular physical activity. The Namaste
model is designed to promote advanced, focused learning
and long-term health and exercise habits.
As part of the founders' vision and unwavering commitment
to Namaste, these experienced educators will also
be working closely with parents and neighborhood
leaders to provide an exceptional academic environment
and make Namaste Charter School a proud-standing
cornerstone of the community.
