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.
