Our Students

The Kappa Leadership Institute - Chicago is known for the producing the largest number of minority male students in the city of Chicago as named as National Merit Semi-Finalist and over the last five years, every senior has gained admission to a "Tier 1" four year college or university. The Kappa Leadership institute - Chicago is currently ranked as one of the best programs nationally amongst 344 other Kappa Leadership Institutes in the nation.

Academic Strands

At Kappa Leadership Institute - Chicago, we believe that exposure to a challenging academic and leadership environment along with the development of skills needed to gain admission into and complete academic studies at a rigorous college/university is critical for early career success. This is particularly true for many disadvantaged minorities and low-income young men who may not have ample resources in their school and home environments
