Welcome to the Young Women's Leadership Charter School

The only all-girls public school in Chicago

Thirteen years ago, a group of women in Chicago were inspired by a vision: that in a perfect world, all young women will have the skills, tools and opportunities to develop as ethical leaders shaping their lives and the world.

The Young Women’s Leadership Charter School, Chicago’s only public school for girls, is the result of that vision.

Every day the faculty, staff and supporters of YWLCS dedicate their passion, energy and resources to help 350 urban girls embark on a journey that will take them to places many never imagined.
