Ryan Banks Academy is Chicago’s first tuition-free independent school—and will soon be a boarding school. Founded in 2018 by former Chicago Public Schools (CPS) social worker Valerie Groth, Ryan Banks Academy's mission is “to transform urban education by cultivating the talents and potential of at-risk students in Chicago through an immersive and innovative educational experience.” •
In this episode, we have a chance to speak to Valerie, some current Ryan Banks Academy students and teachers, and the founding head of school, Audrey Hampton. •
