To Our CICS Community,
As I reach my first 100 days as CEO of Chicago International Charter School, I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude for the warm welcome I’ve received from our community. It has been nearly a decade since I last led CICS, and while many things have changed during that time, one thing has remained constant: the incredible and unwavering commitment of you - our school leaders, teachers, staff, and families - to CICS scholars. It has been a privilege to meet so many of you, to hear your stories, and to witness firsthand the strength, resilience, and diversity that make our CICS family so special.

In honor of Black History Month, CICS is highlighting the latest Innovation Spotlight video showcasing ChicagoRise-the bold school model integrating identity-affirming pedagogy with a rigorous intentional curriculum.
Our students are tomorrow’s entrepreneurs, designers and civic leaders, and they need opportunities to develop and exercise their skills and knowledge through problems in real-world situations and circumstances.
At CICS ChicagoQuest, seniors are in a 6-10 week long project, the Civitas Community Impact Experience (CCIE), that addresses authentic issues, tasks, and topics proposed by sponsors and community partners. Students earn high school credit and may also have opportunities to pursue professional certifications.
