Our child loves BISC South Loop and every day can’t wait to go to school. That says a lot! It was the best decision we made. We have been impressed with their ability to put into practice differentiated learning and not just say they do it. They emphasize the positive & teach the children great values & social skills. It is highly academic in STEAM, while still having art, music, language, dance and sports for all grades. Having smaller class sizes allows teachers to truly know your child's strengths & challenges. And they really do! The school is diverse & the teachers & administrators really want to be at BISC and care about the students. I feel BISC South Loop develops the whole individual—academically and socially while at the same time is warm and nurturing. It truly is a family.
The education here is amazing! They really prepare you for college with implementing a lot of critical thinking in the course as well as a lot of essay writing. I also think that the teachers are the USP for the school. The teachers are very hands on and because they are very young it creates and a better student teacher relationship. The teachers genuinely care about our education and do everything possible to provide us with the best experience and education possible. Although, the social aspect of the school is quite poor but I think now that the school is growing the social aspect will be better, especially because the school is now trying to implement a more high school feel for the students. Overall I think British school is one of the best schools in Chicago!
Our 2 daughters go to BISC-LP and we couldn't be happier! They love their teachers, curriculum, friends, facility and diversity. As parents, it is great to see our kids want to happily go to school everyday. There is so much BISC has to offer and we highly believe our kids have benefited from it at such an early age. They learn through playing and enjoy every minute of it!
