Field Studies
Forty Perspectives students traveled to Washington, D.C., to witness the historic inauguration of President Barack Obama, for what was perhaps the most important Field Study Perspectives students have ever been on. Perspectives has always been dedicated to exposing students to their community and the resources of the city. Field Studies are academically based trips that take students out of the classroom to apply their learning and further their understanding. Your gift of $50 can pay for Field Studies for a student for one year.

11th Grade College Tour
In 11th grade, students embark upon a week-long college tour visiting universities in a different region of the country. Over the years students have visited over 50 universities across a dozen states. $500 covers the entire cost of the trip for two students.

10th Grade College Tour
All 10th grade students at Perspectives take part in a regional college tour. The students spend a day at colleges and universities around the Midwest including University of Wisconsin, University of Michigan, Notre Dame and University of Illinois. It takes $100 to pay for one student to participate in these tours.

Academic Enrichment Tutors
We provide students with small group tutoring on a daily basis during our Advantage Hour. Students receive targeted support in the areas they most need it, while others are challenged with further enrichment. We spend approximately $200 per student each year on tutoring.

Computer for Students
We believe that access to technology is a vital part of preparing students for success in college and in life, which is why we have computer labs and mobile laptop carts in every school. A $750 donation can pay for an additional laptop for our students.

Math & Literacy Instruction
All students at Perspectives have two periods of math and literacy every day. With many students coming to our schools two or more years below grade level, this additional time is vital in preparing our students for college. A $5,000 investment would help support the additional time our students need to succeed.

Sponsor a Student
All of the programs listed above are key aspect to the Perspectives Difference. While you would not see most of this work being done in traditional Chicago Public Schools, we know it is key to truly preparing our students for success in college and in life. When our schools are fully-enrolled, we spend $10,000 per student, each year to provide them with a Perspectives education.

College Scholarship
Since 2000, thanks to the generosity of Board Member Steve Milter, Perspectives has provided gap scholarships to selected college-bound graduates. These scholarships, recently averaging $1,000, have helped students fill the gaps between scholarships and financial aid. Your gift of $1,000 will be matched by the Louis R. Lurie fund to provide scholarships for two students.

A Disciplined Life
In addition to being the foundation upon which all Perspectives schools are built, A Disciplined Life is also a daily class at Perspectives. This additional and important class period requires more expert teachers in our schools. A gift of $2,000 goes a long way toward covering that added cost.

Healthy Lifestyles
Perspectives provides each student with a fresh, healthy lunch every day, what Chicago Magazine called "the gold standard for school lunch." A $25 donation ensures that one of our students can receive breakfast and lunch for a week.
