My daughter has been at this school since pre K (reception). She's now in first grade. We've loved the small community feel of the school. The teachers (mostly from the UK) are kind, experienced and incredible at what they do. The administration brings years of experience and learnings from their chain of schools across the globe.
The academics are top notch and at par with some of the best schools globally. We've met a lot of really awesome parents through the community. They also have a variety of after school activities on campus for any special interests your kid has. They're academics focused, but also make sure kids can be kids
It's also follows the the IB curriculum, so a great choice for families that might move countries in the future. It's also fairly racially and culturally diverse.
Maybe one con is the lack of an outdoor play space, but I know it can be challenge in the city. The gym and indoor playground are great though.

Overall, I think this school is the best in Chicago, because it prepares students from a global point of view that is centered around academics, cultural comprehension and friendship. The teachers are great, and the school’s reading and writing program is at least a year ahead but without the stress.
The administration is organized. It’s not subject to the whims of a local board of trustees. It’s part of a global school system that is accountable to families in 30 countries. As a result, best practices move quickly.
At BISCLP, your child will encounter other children with a range of experiences. Plus parent socializing is also very good. I know it’s about the students, so this part is just a bonus. Each classroom has a social chair who plans events at least quarterly.
Lastly, the extra-curricular programming is sophisticated. There is room for a wide range of interests. We have been so happy at BISCLP and highly recommend it.

Our son began at BISC LP when he was three years old. After seven years, he's graduating and will continue at the South Loop campus. Initially, we chose BISC LP because we appreciated the close proximity to our home in LP and the unique curriculum I like to call a "Renaissance program." We quickly realized the primary reason we stay is because of the genuine concern shown to our son by staff and teachers. He is not only miles beyond his peers from other schools in terms of reading, mathematics and science, but he is also socially intelligent and responsible as well -- and HAPPY.
Teachers take a subject and teach all aspects of it by way of measurement, observation, discussion, writing and presentation. Students are equipped with all necessary tools and learn at their own pace/in their own way so as to foster original ways of thinking.
I can't say enough positive things about BISC Lincoln Park and highly recommend it!
