Founded in 2001, British International School of Chicago, South Loop (BISC-SL) is a top tier private school located in the South Loop neighbourhood of downtown Chicago. BISC-SL is the only premium, international private school in Chicago that focuses on the full age range of Primary and Secondary education from Nursery to Year 13 (ages 3 to 18). BISC-SL instils a values-based education and thematic curriculum at an early age, so our students will not only thrive from a personalized learning experience, but also gain the social, academic, global, and leadership skills needed to succeed as the ambitious and well-prepared innovators of tomorrow.

We create a personalized learning experience for every student: building their character, growing them academically and setting them up to thrive. We are global learning community of learners who are committed to global citizenship and innovation, cultivated through a collaborative and diverse learning journey.

Naturally, at BISC-SL, you’ll find children who are happy, motivated, committed and love learning. Our community invests in staff with ongoing CPD opportunities and community-building opportunities to help you get the most out of your time at here and in Chicago. Our state-of-the-art facilities provide engaging learning environments for students and staff alike.

Located in the South Loop, one of the most up-and-coming downtown neighbourhoods in the heart of Chicago, our campus is steps away from internationally renowned theatres, museums, outdoor parks, hiking & biking trails, and 40 kilometres of public beaches. Our highly supportive parents choose the South Loop campus not only because of its safe, family-friendly setting but also because they can engage fully in the life of the school as partners in their child’s education.

BISC-SL is part of Nord Anglia Education (NAE) and was NAE’s first international school to open and operate in the Midwest. The school is accredited through the International Primary Curriculum and the International Baccalaureate Organization and works closely with its sister school BISC-LP in the Lincoln Park neighbourhood of the city.
