Our students learn to be powerful agents of change not only through their classroom work, but through an unparalleled range of real-world training experiences. Throughout their Chicago School education, our students contribute their expertise in underserved communities, social service agencies, schools, hospitals, mental health centers, and even businesses—refining their professional skills while making a positive and lasting impact in the community. Chicago School students graduate with much more than a traditional internship on their resumes. They leave us with a rich spectrum of clinical training, community service, and applied field research experience that prepares them for success in a way few other schools can.
For the past two years, The Chicago School has been named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for its leadership in helping to build a culture of service and civic engagement.
