Loyola University School Partners
About Us

Mission
Loyola University Chicago works with our local public school partners to strategically direct resources to support the education of P-20 students. These reciprocal partnerships engage Loyola students, faculty and staff and have significant pedagogical value for both our school partners and university members. These relationships are founded on and sustained by the principle of mutual benefit.
Who We Are
The Loyola University School Partners initiative is a strategic approach to community that aligns university resources with PK-12 public schools across the Rogers Park, West Ridge, Edgewater, and Uptown communities in Chicago. LUSP and our partner schools practice the Community Schools Model which fosters a mutually beneficial framework for identifying and addressing key issues faced by our students and families. Together, we provide specialized access to academic support, social and cultural enrichment opportunities, health and wellness services, social-emotional supports, and family and community engagement activities. Our work in leveraging resources reduces barriers to access and success for over 900+ students and 250+ families annually.
