Organization:
Victory Education Partners ("Victory") is a school management organization that supports public charter schools in Chicago.

Victory currently manages three elementary (K-8) charter schools on behalf of Chicago International Charter School (CICS): CICS Avalon, CICS Basil, and CICS Washington Park. In total, these schools serve over 1,600 students. Since the campuses have been under new management, our schools have doubled in literacy scores. Although we made great gains, we know our work is not complete. We are committed to ensuring all students are prepared to attend and succeed in high school and beyond.
Join our team during this exciting period of our development. As we continue to strive to improve, we will usher in a day in Chicago when the promise of educational excellence for "all" of our children will truly mean "all".
