Respected. Refined. Realized.
We expect the best of every student and, in turn, provide the support each student needs to achieve their best.
This philosophy has led to significant growth across our schools, with 8 of 9 CICS elementary schools hitting their math and reading targets, meaning that the average student in those grades is making above average gains in both subjects as compared with a national sample. We are proud to say that Chicago International has closed the achievement gap in 7th grade reading and math between our students and a nationally representatives sample of their peers.
You can make a difference too. Help support our students and schools. LEARN MORE
Action alert - text "charter" to 30644 or visit this link to tell your representative your stance on the following proposed $100 million cut to federal charter school funding:
Chairman Obey, head of the House Appropriations Committee, has proposed a $100 million cut to the Federal Charter School Program (a 40% overall cut). This would mean 200 fewer new charter schools, and as many as 6,000 charter school staffers in jeopardy of losing their jobs.
ACT NOW to protest these potentially devastating changes!
