Tim King is founder, President, and CEO of Urban Prep Academies, a nonprofit organization operating a network of public college-prep boys’ schools in Chicago (including the nation’s first all-male charter high school) and related programs aimed at promoting college success. One hundred percent of Urban Prep graduates—all African-American males and mostly from low-income families—have been admitted to four-year colleges/universities. Mr. King also serves as an Adjunct Lecturer at Northwestern University and has contributed to the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun Times, and the Huffington Post. A member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., Mr. King has completed post graduate work in Kenya and Italy, holds the Doctorate Honoris Causa from the Adler School, and has received a BS in Foreign Service and a JD from Georgetown University.

In today’s podcast we discuss the following topics:

Why does Chicago need all-male charter schools?

How does one network of schools move the needle on the college acceptance rate among African American males?

What lessons might Chicago Public Schools learn from Urban Prep Academies?
