he most important facet of the CPS experience is guiding our students to become well-rounded citizens—of their neighborhood, city, country and the world. To succeed, our students’ classroom must extend outside of the school building, literally and figuratively. In addition to traditional academics, CPS Tstudents experience arts and culture from around the world. They learn to solve problems in a productive way, and how food and exercise lead to a healthy lifestyle. Students build respectful relationships with each other and contribute to a school environment that encourages them to explore their history, connect to their roots and discover their talents. Partnership makes CPS possible. We thank our 2016-17 Academic partners, volunteers, and partner organizations that help us provide and nurture a strong educational foundation for the students at CPS. These are only a few examples of how so many of us come together to create a successful school program.
