Title
St. Gregory Episcopal School, Chicago
Description
At St. Gregory every boy will acquire the courage, moral direction, and habits of heart and mind to achieve, unencumbered by social condition, his true potential for self and community.
St. Gregory’s mission is to provide affordable, faith based education to at-risk boys, preparing them for success in competitive high schools. Our mission is accomplished through a cohesive partnership of educators and volunteers teaching strong academic fundamentals within a nurturing Christian environment that focuses on individual and social development.
St. Gregory Episcopal School was established in 1962 by the Rev. R. L. Whitehouse and Gordon L. Baker. Its founders envisioned a liturgical and educational institution patterned after the all-male English Cathedral choir schools, but situated within the urban context of Chicago . Founded as an outreach ministry of the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany, the school shared space within the church and its parish hall until August 2002. Enrollment was necessarily small (under 30) given the limited amount of space.
