Welcome to Noble’s Counselor Corner! We are excited to have you visit our page. Please feel welcome to explore our page to see how Noble can support you and your students!

Getting to Know Noble

Noble makes a difference. We care about each and every one of our students.

Our goal is ensure all our students have a positive school experience with access and resources to new opportunities. We provide experiences that give students exposure to various pathways they can choose for their future. For example, Noble offers the “Summer of a Lifetime”  program. This amazing opportunity is where we send 10th Grade students to a college of their choice for the summer to engage in a program of their interest. This experience helps them learn new life skills, get a glimpse of college life, and pushes them to grow as individuals. This year, Noble will be sending their 10,000th scholar to Summer of a Lifetime! 

Noble is College Prep. We want all students to have the tools to be ready for college level courses. Each of our campuses offer an array of Advanced Placement, Honors, and IB courses for students. At Noble, we want to blur barriers and make college accessible to every one of our students by providing rigorous materials and expectations ahead of time. Our Seniors also receive college support through a course called College Seminar. This course walks students step by step through the application process (personal statement, financial aid, support in completing applications, grants, etc.)

Lastly, we wouldn’t be Noble without our amazing alumni. Many of our former students choose to come back to Noble. A large population of our Noble staff are alumni. We love to see how Noble made an impact on their lives. It speaks volumes that our alumni choose to come back and serve their communities.

Noble has 17 high school campuses located in various neighborhoods around the City of Chicago. Each of our campuses hold distinctive factors that make the student experience unique and valuable. At Noble, safety is our top priority. We want Noble campuses to be a safe space in their neighborhood where they can learn and flourish.
