Some CAPE partnerships are in their first year while others have been established for more than 20 years! We sustain as many existing partnerships as we can from year to year, and we find new partners through a variety of channels when we adequate funding to add them to our programs. None of our CAPE schools pay for our services, but we try to focus our efforts in schools that, without CAPE, would struggle to bring the arts to their students and training to their teachers.
Partnerships Across Chicago
Our partnerships are reaching 90 Chicago Public Schools all across the city during this 2016-2017 school year. Our professional development sessions bring together teachers and artists from many different neighborhoods to foster camaraderie, build respect among the educators, and share best practices.
