Infinity

Overview

Infinity was designed for a capacity of 350 students in Grades 9-12. In 2005, Infinity opened its doors to 100 freshmen after a struggle which included a 19-day hunger strike by parents and community members. Infinity continues to be one of the highest attendance rate schools. Our partners include New Tech Foundation, Illinois State University, and the Little Village Community Development Corporation. The school is located in the Little Village community of Chicago and is designed to serve students from both South and North Lawndale. Our instruction is focused on project-based learning. Our culture is based on trust, respect and responsibility, and provides a college prep curriculum with integrated, team-taught courses meeting state standards.
