CICS Northtown Academy Campus is a school of choice. Families who choose our school are expected to uphold the mission, values and policies espoused by CICS. Families must agree to adhere to all rules and regulations designed to promote a productive learning environment.

Charter schools are public schools operated by independent organizations. While charter schools enjoy the opportunity to create their own academic program and policies, they are strictly accountable to both the Chicago Public Schools and the Illinois State Board of Education.

CICS Northtown is required by the Illinois Charter School Law to produce bi-annual accountability reports that measure academic progress.
