PULASKI SCHOOL
Pulaski International School of Chicago is now an authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy—a commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of students by delivering challenging, high quality programmes of international education that share a powerful vision. The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

Our Mission: To receive each child as unique gift, collaborating with parents to cultivate the intellectual, moral and spiritual talents of each child, enabling the child to direct his emotions as a respectful son or daughter, a generous and loyal friend and a responsible high school student who has the courage to live his Catholic faith among peers in service to God, family and country.
We achieve this by: An education approach based on the Maryland Charter; A challenging academic curriculum enriched by extracurricular activites; Seminars and classes that inspire parents to exemplify the character they seek for their children; A safe and secure environment, under the Virgin Mary’s protection, in which good moral habits and Christian virtues are exemplified.
CICS Bucktown boasts an energetic learning environment, fueled by over 600 eager learners, many of whom travel great distances to school each day! Our talented teaching staff is dedicated to meeting the needs of every student through effective implementation of a finely tuned blended learning model. Based on the Common Core State Standards for reading and math, Next Generation Science Standards, and a robust writing curriculum, learning at CICS Bucktown is rigorous and prepares our students for the best high schools in the city. With consistent growth in reading, math, and science on NWEA MAP testing across grade levels, over 30% of graduating eighth graders have been accepted to Chicago’s Selective Enrollment High Schools over the past four years.
