British International School of Chicago, South Loop Reviews
BISC-SL high school IB curriculum is one of the most rigorous and challenging programs in the city. The IB curriculum teaches students to research, write, analyze, and think critically. Skills that will be invaluable for college. And the language program is phenomenal.
One of the greatest assets of the school is the administration and the teachers. The teachers are so invested in the students. They truly get to know each student and helps to motivate and challenge each student. The students develop relationships built of mutual respect.
BISC-SL is a smaller school but that I feel is such an asset. From the small class sizes to the teachers being able to truly get to know the students. The smaller community of BISC-SL makes the large city of Chicago feel a little smaller and a family of sorts exists at BISC-SL.
The diversity is also super great and the school embraces different cultures. It's like a big family and everybody is so welcomed.
