Education/Training - Chicago, IL, US
Erie fosters the habits of heart, mind and work. We build Spanish proficiency and open doors to multicultural competence. Our responsive environment and engaging curriculum empower, educate and elevate students to confidently enter a path of higher education and participate in a diverse global society. We empower students to cultivate character, connect to culture, pursue education, and contribute to their community in order to thrive in a diverse global society.Erie Elementary Charter School (EECS) is built on the strong foundation of the nationally accredited child care program at Erie Neighborhood House, a comprehensive social service agency in Chicago's West Town community that promotes a just and inclusive society by strengthening low-income, primarily Latino families through skill-building, access to critical resources, advocacy and collaborative action. EECS is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization funded primarily by Chicago Public Schools and supplemented by private resources.EECS was born out of the vision that the Erie Neighborhood House board of directors and executive director had for its families, which is to provide another choice in schools where students can receive a nurturing, caring environment while getting a great education. We opened our doors in 2005, beginning as only a kindergarten and first grade and have added one grade per school year.
