21st Century Community Learning Centers

The Chicago Teachers’ Center operates a number of 21st Century Community Learning Centers in Chicago, Cicero and Berwyn elementary, middle and high schools. These centers offer academic, artistic, recreational and cultural enrichment opportunities to students and their families when school is not in session. No fees are charged to families for these programs.

These opportunities focus on:

	Improving academic achievement in reading, mathematics, and science
	Helping students meet the Illinois Learning Standards as well as locally developed standards in the core subject areas
	Complementing the regular academic program
