A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

As of July 1, 2024, Little Black Pearl Workshop has ended its partnership with Chicago Public Schools. We would like to thank all of the parents, students and community partners for 11 years of educational success. We are proud of the work we have done and the hundreds of families we have touched from all zip codes around the City of Chicago.

Little Black Pearl staff will continue to support our youth in their transition to other schools as much as possible; however, Mr. Ade Akisanya will be your CPS point of contact to answer any questions or assist with transfer questions or concerns.

Thank you
