PEAK's mission is to provide opportunities for underserved youth to achieve academic and personal success by combining a four-year, quality, values-based high school education with the guidance and commitment of caring, adult mentors.
Who we serve
Since 1998, PEAK has focused on an often overlooked segment of Chicago’s youth: academically average students from our city’s most challenging and under-served neighborhoods.
Through a rigorous interview process, we look to identify incoming freshmen who demonstrate the grit, ability and desire necessary to flourish in life if only given financial, educational and personal support through their high school years. For over 20 years now, PEAK has proven successful in changing life’s narrative for hundreds of scholars.
How we serve
PEAK's unique approach combines a four-year, full-tuition high school scholarship with an award-winning mentoring program. PEAK mentors are paired with a scholar at the start of freshman year and commit to this 1:1 relationship for all four years.
Since its inception PEAK has partnered with Holy Trinity High School, a Brothers of Holy Cross School. All of our scholars receive a rigorous, values-based education in Holy Trinity's nurturing and academically challenging environment. Learn more about our education partner, Holy Trinity High School.
