Perspectives Charter Schools is a charter school network in Chicago, Illinois. The organization was founded by Kim Day and Diana Shulla-Cose, two teachers at Chicago's Dyett Middle School.[1]
History
In 1993, Day and Shulla-Cose established their own small school within Dyett. They chose the name "Perspectives" to reflect their hope of changing the way their students saw themselves and the world.[2] In 1997, Perspectives became one of the first charter schools in Illinois.[3]
Campuses
The school moved several times over the years and was expanded into a network of schools, serving both elementary and high school students. The five current Perspectives schools are as follows:[4]
- The Rodney D. Joslin Campus, which is housed in a building designed by Perkins+Will[5]
- Perspectives Middle Academy
- Perspectives High School of Technology
- Perspectives Leadership Academy
- Perspectives/IIT Math & Science Academy
Athletics
Professional basketball player Anthony Davis attended the Joslin campus.[6]
