Right Angle, a program of the highly successful Noble Network of Charter Schools, is dedicated to providing access, funding and support for hundreds of low income students to participate in summer academic enrichment programs at colleges and universities nationwide. Summer of a Lifetime reaches students after their sophomore year when they are at a crossroads in high school and provides them with life changing college experiences forever influencing their educational and career trajectories. Access to summer college enrichment programs provides academic preparation for and exposure to four-year colleges and universities significantly increasing the chances these students will enroll in and graduate from such institutions. Leaving Chicago and their families, living independently on a college campus, meeting other students from all over the world and taking classes taught by university professors, students return with unparalleled confidence in their abilities and a burning desire to attend college. Since beginning in 1996, 1,137 students have participated in Summer of a Lifetime and 85% have gone on to attend four-year colleges.

Summer of a Lifetime participants are selected sophomores at Noble Network of Charter Schools, the larg-est and highest performing open enrollment public school in Chicago. With over 6,500 students currently enrolled on 10 campuses, Noble is committed to serving students with the highest need in underserved commu-nities that lack quality high school options. Noble’s goal is to equip students with the skills they need to be successful in college. Yet many enter ninth grade performing significantly below grade level – sometimes as many as three to four years behind in reading and math. Compared to a traditional Chicago public high school, Noble’s longer school day and school year equates to 10.6 additional months of instructional time over four years. In 2011, all seven Noble campuses with junior classes taking the ACT ranked in the top ten of 116 open enrollment district high schools for the third consecutive year. At a time when 56% of Chicago public high school students are expected to graduate and only 8% of freshmen are expected to finish college, Noble Network and Right Angle students are beating the odds!

• Empowers low-income high school students to pursue higher education by exposing them to the college experi-ence at a pivotal crossroads in their educational career

• Significantly increases the chances of students going to and graduating from a four-year university

• Most participants become the first in their family to attend college, changing the future for their family, friends and community

Summer of a Lifetime is:• Two to six week academic enrichment programs• Classes are taught by college professors • College credit courses are available Summer of a Lifetime Scholars are:• Sophomore students from Noble Network campuses• 98% minority• 89% low income• From Chicago’s neediest communities • For most of our students, this is their first time leaving their families, first time out of Chicago and first time on an airplane

Summer of a Lifetime 2011:• 290 student participants• 56 different colleges and universities• 20 states and District of Columbia

“If (not for) Summer of a Lifetime, I would not be so

sure that I would want to attend college. It’s no

longer a dream for me; it’s my next step. I will go to

college and I will graduate, and I will make something

of myself.”

“Summer Discovery at UCLA was definitely a life changing experience…It helped me focus my plans for the future. Being at an actual college and staying on campus made me realize how much I want to go to college and get my

education so that I can be successful. …It changed my life forever. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to go.” - Charianna Lemon, UCLA

"There are virtually no words to describe what Summer of a Lifetime means to me. It is an open door to a world of opportunities. It gave me a thirst for academic success at a level higher than I ever imagined, one that I can and will reach." - Eugenio Ibarra, George Washington University

“This opportunity was the best thing that ever happened to me. I now know that I can handle college and I am more motivated than ever before.” - Esteban Hurtado, Stanford University

“Summer of a Lifetime helped me realize that college really is where

I want to go. Because of that, I can be the first in my family to

graduate from a major university and help the next generations in

my family also choose that path.”

-Jasmine Colon,University of Maryland

“This was truly the best summer of my life and has impacted me more than I ever thought possible....I came back a new student. I am more confident and independent. I am not afraid to leave home, go on an airplane and take on a challenge. Most of all what I take away from this experience is the urgency to go to college. It made me realize how successful I can become. I am already the first in my family to have gone to a college but now I plan to be the first to graduate from one too!” - Jakieyah Swayzer, University of Arizona

“Summer of a Lifetime meant that I was worthy to go to a top-notch college. I learned that I am able to compete with top students across the world. I got to meet new, smarter, and amazing people. It meant the world to me, and I am so thankful for this opportunity.” - Cristhian Jimenez, University of Michigan
