NewSchools Venture Fund, a national nonprofit venture philanthropy firm, announced last week that it will invest $1.6 million in Perspectives Charter Schools, a nonprofit charter management organization that seeks to educate underserved students in Chicago. With the support of the grant, the organization plans to operate by 2014 up to 10 schools serving more than 4,500 students annually. A recent study by the Consortium on Chicago School Research showed that Perspectives graduates almost twice as many students as schools serving similar populations. "For many years, Perspectives has offered an excellent public school option to some of Chicago's highest-need students," said Jim Peyser, Partner at NewSchools. "NewSchools looks forward to supporting Perspectives as it grows, in order to prepare even more of the city's high-need students for success in college and beyond."
