Since its founding in 1906 in Chicago, Christopher House has created opportunity and advanced equity by delivering high-quality, innovative programming that serves the needs of our community. From being one of the first Head Start providers in the 1960s to piloting teen pregnancy programming in the 1980s, Christopher House has honed a continuum of education model with immersive family support that enables scholars and their caregivers to thrive.
Today, we deliver this model to thousands of scholars, starting at birth through the 8th grade, across our family of schools located in Belmont Cragin, Logan Square, and Uptown. Our two-generation model builds strong, trusting relationships with the entire family to provide coordinated support and care by breaking down traditional barriers to access, removing the stigma around asking for help, and creating pathways to success. Moreover, we are helping to transform communities by partnering with families, leveraging assets, and offering culturally responsive support and resources.
