Amelia Gernand's Company Details
Noble is a nonprofit organization that runs 17 charter public high schools and one middle school in the city of Chicago. Founded in 1999, we now serve over 12,000 students, and they come from every neighborhood in the city. Every year, 99% of our seniors are accepted into college before they graduate high school. Our schools are free and open-enrollment – any student who completes 8th grade and lives in Chicago may attend.Noble was founded on many of the same entrepreneurial principles that have built successful businesses—strong leadership, meaningful use of data, and a high degree of accountability. Because success is the only option for our students, we operate on culture of high expectations – for academics, for behavior, and for our students' futures. We know that college is crucial for future success, so everything we do is to prepare our students for that next step and to combat education inequity in Chicago.
