CICS NEW CAMPUS BACKGROUND CICS PATRIOTS
CICS Patriots serves students in grades K-6 and will open a new grade each subsequent year. This is CICS’s first campus outside of Chicago. CICS Patriots focuses on data-informed decision making to best meet the needs of all students. Director Amanda Rychel has been educating students in CICS Schools for the past 8 years, and is focused on providing a high-quality education to prepare students for college and beyond.
CICS LARRY HAWKINS
Named by community members to honor the life of Dr. Larry Hawkins, a prominent advocate for Chicago youth. The opening of CICS Lloyd Bond and CICS Larry Hawkins provides a K-12 continuum for residents in and around the Altgeld Gardens neighborhood. CICS Larry Hawkins believes that all children should be provided the same opportunities to learn and that all students, when properly supported, can learn. CICS Larry Hawkins believes in providing a safe, nurturing environment in which students can grow intellectually, socially and emotionally.
CICS CHICAGO QUEST 220 STUDENTS 6–8 OPENED 09/2011
CICS ChicagoQuest serves students in grades 6-8 and will open a new grade each subsequent year. CICS ChicagoQuest is a revolutionary charter school where middle- and high-school students are challenged and engaged with a curriculum based on principles of digital learning and game design. CICS ChicagoQuest is designed to prepare its students for college, career, and sophisticated participation in an evolving world.
GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP EXPERIENCE (GCE)
CICS has collaborated with GCE, a partnership which features a School-within-a-School pilot that serves a cohort of students and their families who were languishing on the CICS waiting list. Today, these students are paving the way for a long-term partnership between GCE and CICS.
GLOBALCITIZENSHIPEXPERIENCE.COM
This, our first, courageous cohort of students reaps the benefits and demonstrates the success of GCE’s innovative and relevant pedagogical models founded on the principles of global citizenship that are aligned with the Common Core State Standards (skills) and UN Millennium Development Goals (values). As our new CICS students are discovering, GCE aims to transform public education by cultivating graduates who are global citizens—demonstrating purpose, autonomy, accountability, gratitude, and through each of these, achievement.

FUNDER PROFILE | ANNE & BILL TOBEY Anne and Bill Tobey have been invaluable friends and supporters of Chicago International Charter School with a demonstrated passion for education equality and the CICS mission. In addition to his support of CICS, Bill is also active in his support of the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Foundation and various cultural institutions in Chicago. Splitting their time between Chicago and Colorado, Anne and Bill are also dedicated to their support of Aspen Public Radio, The Aspen Community Foundation, the Pre-Collegiate Program, English in Action, and the Aspen Institute. The Tobeys’ relationship with CICS began through Bill’s involvement on the board of directors at The Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund (DMSF). At DMSF, Bill met individuals who were also active with Chicago International Charter School and learned about a CICS initiative to expand access to 21st Century Technology in the classroom.
He saw that CICS was moving the dial. “I can’t help but believe that all the things you’re doing is making things better than the norm for public education.” His reasons for deciding to support CICS were much like those that brought him to DMSF in the first place. Much like DMSF, CICS is also providing high-quality education options for underserved students and families. Bill has stated that he, “support(s) education because unequal opportunities exist. When students have a poor start it deprives us of great minds in the future. We need to reach for every mind that we can. We can’t afford to not do something.” Bill also sees the advantages in the ability of charters to try new ideas and replicate those which are found to be successful. “With new ideas it’s not the same top-down approach. And when ideas do work, they’ll spread.”
Bill would like to see a day when the norm for public education is excellence. “When I joined Daniel Murphy I asked them: Is your objective to go out of business? You should be able to reach the point where you don’t have to provide scholarships anymore, because public education is doing the job it should.” Anne and Bill truly personify the belief that providing a quality education for all students is really an investment in the future of our city, and for that, everyone at Chicago International Charter School is truly grateful.
