IB offerings in Chicago area

There's a lot of discussion about upper grades IB but there are some CPS schools with middle years and primary years IB programs. If the information at the International Baccalaureate Organization is up to date, here are your choices:

Interesting that there are only five northside CPS schools with the MYP: Wildwood (enrollment area magnet), Amundsen (only 9th grade but they have IB from 9th-12th), Locke (neighborhood), McPherson (neighborhood, open enrollment) and Mayer (magnet).

BTW I hear from the new IB coordinator at McPherson that they are trying to get PYP certification. Wildwood is the only northside CPS school with the PYP.

The big push to expand DP down through MYP started a couple of years ago, so there are many schools that should be on the verge of authorization. I would guess there should be at least a dozen new MYP-authorized schools in the next year or two.
