Understanding the Types of Schools and Programs
Posted: Richard Van Thuyne - Jun 10, 2021
To best understand the application process, first you have to understand how CPS categorizes its schools and programs into different types.
Below are 2 slide presentations about Program Types. One from the district and one created by me. I encourage you to review both to best understand. The series of support videos below the slides offer a brief overview and then targets each program type, giving additional details beyond the slides.
