Celebrating 25 years as an anchor institution in the North Lawndale Community, North Lawndale College Prep (NLCP) is doubling down on its mission to not only empower students with the tools needed to successfully make it to and through college but to also become transformational leaders.
Operating two unique campus locations, NLCP is a co-ed charter network serving approximately 750 students in grades 9-12. Our scholars - the majority of whom are low income - choose NLCP for its culturally responsive and rigorous academic model. Students know when they enroll at NLCP they are entering into a robust web of support and an uplifting community.
At the heart of NLCP's strong community is our commitment to four core employee values that guide the work we do and prepare us to serve students in transformational ways: trustworthiness, timeliness, teamwork, and transparency. We believe that centering these values and continually growing and improving how they are practiced helps staff members build a safe and supportive environment for both students and fellow staff.
