Our mission statement directs students to "lead lives of purpose and excellence." Our students learn that it is not enough
to be good, they must also do good – at school, in their neighborhoods, throughout the city and around the world.
Our Partnership
with Uptown
Latin launched the Uptown Partnership
in 2012 to provide opportunities for
students at all grade levels to engage
with a Chicago community in meaningful
ways while serving the needs of a
neighborhood. The initiative grew out of
two successful, long-term community
relationships the school already had with
McCutcheon Elementary School and
Uptown Baptist Soup Kitchen.
Middle schoolers take on the role of
teacher through our long-standing
tutoring partnership with McCutcheon
Chicago Public School.
Educational excellence goes beyond academics.
A truly excellent education also gives children
the skills and drive to lead a healthy life,
to empathize with others and to contribute in
their own way to a larger community.
— LOWER SCHOOL PARENT
All students participate
in our buddy program
allowing them to
connect in meaningful
ways across the school
through class visits,
field trips and service
learning projects.
