Thank you for your interest in Chicago International and the 500 dedicated educators who commit themselves, day in and day out, to more than 8.000 students. You can make a difference and join us in this journey by supporting the thirteen campuses of the Chicago International network.

Chicago International has the reputation for providing measurable student growth within a fiscally responsible model:

• The network operates on the principle that public school students should be educated with public dollars
• Close to 95% of the $65 million budget is provided by local and federal public funds. In contrast, many other charter schools must generate 25% of their operating costs through fundraising
• The Chicago International funding model has unique challenges, however, because the 82% per-pupil allotment from CPS (as compared to traditional Chicago public school student funding) must cover 100% of instruction costs
• Chicago International is, in fact, providing a better education at a lower cost

How do I give to Chicago International?

If you are an individual, foundation or organization interested in supporting the expansion of Chicago International, or would like to contribute to operating costs for any campus or program, please contact us by email or at (312) 651-5000.
