​Across the upcoming year, The Chicago School will engage in a collaborative process to develop its next strategic plan, which will guide the university's growth from 2025 to 2030. This new plan will align with strategic goals across the colleges and across The Community Solution Education System and will help our community move closer to achieving our shared vision of using educational opportunity to increase access to expert, culturally competent, integrated care for individuals, organizations, and communities.​
