Chicago International Charter School’s core purpose is to offer Chicago families excellent and innovative school choices where their children thrive every day. Through a portfolio model of 14 innovative and diverse schools, we serve 8,300 students and offer varied and high-quality options to Chicago families. This organization participated in the second cohort of our ‘Transcend+NewSchools Collaborative’ – a multi-faceted nine-month program that guided districts and charter network leaders through a process to reimagine their schools.
