Spring High School Open House for Grades 9-12

Seats are still available for the 2019-20 School Year

A Chicago high school experience that makes a world of difference.

At Global Citizenship Experience Lab School, students learn in a totally unique, project-based environment that allows them to truly experience learning by connecting academics to real-world scenarios. What does that look like? We’re hosting students and families on April 30th to show you how.

Each student is recognized for his or her unique history, perspective, and identity. Our aim is to cultivate young leaders and change agents. Small, diverse classrooms wherein students feel comfortable developing their voices, taking intellectual risks, and challenging their own previously held opinions occasion the practice of respect, empathy, and cultural awareness, and prepare our students to contribute effectively in heterogeneous environments, local and global.
