SISTER SCHOOLS ABROAD
School Selection Process for Sister Schools Abroad Program

Chicago Public Schools: The Office of Language and Cultural Education, a department of the Chicago Public Schools, assists in the identification of interested schools.  Of equal importance is a strong interest in the Sister City and its country and the commitment to the program by the principal, the staff and the administrators of the school.

Non-Chicago Public Schools: Independent, private or parochial schools will contact Chicago Sister Cities directly and express interest in participating in the sister school abroad program.  The school may select the Sister City they are interested in working with.

Schools Abroad: The schools in Chicago’s Sister Cities are recruited through the efforts of the Education Sub-committee Chairs of each Sister City Committee, in cooperation with the Education Projects Coordinators and the Director of Programs from Chicago Sister Cities International Program.  Identifying schools in the sister cities can also be aided by contacts living in the Sister City, for example, U.S. Consular Corps members or members of that city’s Department of Education and the Offices of Foreign Affairs.
