A Message from the Principal

A Message from the Principal

Ogden International is the only full continuum preK-12 public International Baccalaureate school in the State of Illinois, and only one of 25 in North America. Ogden is also one of the ten most diverse schools in the Chicago Public School District, serving the downtown area with families from foreign consulates and global corporations choosing to enroll at Ogden.

An Ogden International School education engages a K-12 diverse student body with inquiry-based learning experiences fostering empathy, critical thinking and global mindedness for the world of tomorrow. Ogden International’s globally-recognized IB programmes provide concept-based, academic frameworks, and student centered learning by inquiry grounded in global context and real life situations.

Through internationally-based learning opportunities, Ogden aims to develop leaders who possess the intellectual, emotional and social skills to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world.
