Fiscal Responsibility

Chicago International is proud of its reputation for fiscal responsibility. CICS’s 82% per-pupil allotment from Chicago Public Schools covers 100% of instruction costs incurred during the school day.

Chicago International receives no public funding for the campuses’ capital needs or for student support outside of academics. To realize its vision, Chicago International relies on philanthropic support to supplement its conservative annual budget. Therefore, over the next three years, Chicago International is undergoing a strategic fundraising plan to raise $10 million, which will be used for initiatives such as teacher performance incentives, professional development, before/after school programming, technology in the classrooms and facility improvements.
