Each year, thousands of area schoolchildren benefit from tutoring and enrichment programs staffed by University students, staff, and faculty. From one-on-one tutoring to summer classes and projects, these learning opportunities spark students’ interest in subjects as diverse as ancient civilizations and international relations. Here’s a sampling of what we offer.
Partnerships with Local Schools
Arts Enrichment
“Every child is an artist,” wrote Pablo Picasso. And at the University of Chicago, we offer a wealth of programs that bring out the artist in children across the city. From on-campus exploration of visual art to in-school theater workshops, we make the arts meaningful and accessible.
Math, Science, and Technology
From mapping the invisible universe to digging up dinosaur bones, the University of Chicago helps hundreds of students in local schools learn about the joy of scientific discovery.
