// ABOUT OUR ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

Preparing Academic Champions for Success

At Chi-Prep, we believe academic excellence is just as important as athletic achievement.
That’s why we’ve proudly partnered with Innovations High School, a respected charter
school located in downtown Chicago.

As part of our commitment to student growth, Innovations offers our student-athletes a
traditional and interactive learning experience, combining in-classroom education with flexible online options. The school provides comprehensive support services, including individual tutoring, counseling, and job assistance—all designed to increase each student’s chances for long-term success.

This partnership aligns perfectly with our academic standards and mission to foster
excellence, development, and opportunity. Students benefit from a dynamic academic
environment that supports both social development and remote learning needs.

Innovations High School stands as a leader among Chicago’s charter schools, continuing to enrich the lives of students and their families through a commitment to academic growth and personal success.

The curriculum emphasizes critical thinking and real-world application through quarterly, inquiry-based, interdisciplinary projects designed to build deeper knowledge and transferable skills.
