The British International School of Chicago

Founded as a small elementary school for less than 20 students in 2001, the British International School of Chicago consists of two top-tier private schools located in the South Loop and Lincoln Park neighborhoods of downtown Chicago. BISC South Loop is the only premium, international private school in Chicago that focuses on the full age range of Primary and Secondary education from Nursery to Year 13 (ages 3 to 18) and BISC Lincoln Park is the only premium, international private school to offer an education to students aged 15 months to 11 years. The vast majority of students from BISC Lincoln Park transfer to South Loop for Middle and High School once they have graduated at the end of Grade 5. Our schools instill a values-based education and thematic curriculum at an early age, so our students will not only thrive from a personalized learning experience, but also gain the social, academic, global, and leadership skills needed to succeed as the ambitious and well-prepared innovators of tomorrow. We create a personalized learning experience for every student: building their character, growing them academically and setting them up to thrive. We are a global learning community of learners who are committed to global citizenship and innovation, cultivated through a collaborative and diverse learning journey. Our community invests in staff with ongoing CPD opportunities and community-building opportunities to help you get the most out of your time here and in Chicago. Our state-of-the-art facilities provide engaging learning environments for students and staff alike.
