Region 3 Home Schools Map – Public vs. Private Career Colleges
Overview
- The transcript presents a verbal “map” of Region 3 Home Schools, broken down into:
- A large set of institutions the speaker labels “Public” (even though many are traditionally private or independent; we preserve the wording exactly as stated).
- A short list the speaker labels “Private Career” institutions.
- Intent: give listeners a quick inventory of post-secondary options located in or serving Region 3 (Chicago metropolitan area).
- Numerical snapshot (directly inferred from the spoken list):
- Total “public” mentions (including the repeat of Telshe Jeshiba): Npublic=26
- Unique “public” institutions: Npublicunique=25
- “Private career” institutions: Nprivatecareer=2

Additional Observations & Significance
- Many schools listed—e.g., DePaul, Loyola, Columbia College Chicago—are actually private nonprofits; nonetheless, the speaker aggregates them under the “public” heading. This may reflect a local administrative grouping rather than legal governance.
- Large representation of City Colleges of Chicago (Harold Washington, Truman, Malcolm X, Olive Harvey, Richard Daley, Wilbur Wright) highlights strong community-college coverage within the city.
- Inclusion of specialized institutions (e.g., Moody Bible Institute, Vandercook College of Music, The School of the Art Institute) shows the breadth of niche training available.
“Private Career” Institutions
- Generations College
- St. Augustine College
Contextual Notes
- Labeled “private career” likely because their primary mission centers on career-oriented associate or certificate programs.
- Both are based in Chicago and focus on workforce-ready curricula, often appealing to non-traditional or returning adult students.

Key Take-Aways / Study Prompts
- Memorize the full roster of institutions—especially useful if later lectures quiz on the geographic or categorical placement of Region 3 schools.
- Clarify any discrepancies between the spoken labels (“public,” “private career”) and each institution’s actual governance for more nuanced understanding.
- Note repeated emphasis on Telshe Jeshiba—could denote its unique status or frequent omission in other lists.
