Mission Statement Our mission is to nurture the unique talents of gifted bilingual students by providing an accelerated and enriched academic curriculum that promotes biliteracy, bicultural identity, and critical thinking. Students receive instruction in both English and Spanish that goes beyond foundational language development to deepen academic inquiry and real-world problem-solving. Vision Statement
We envision a learning community where gifted bilingual students thrive as innovative, biliterate leaders—academically advanced, culturally grounded, and equipped to shape a multilingual, global society. Pulaski International School of Chicago is home to one of the city’s three RGC-ELs.
This program is designed to give greater academic equity and opportunity to our students that are gifted learners and high achievers who also speak Spanish as their primary home language. For more information about the program, please contact our Bilingual/Gifted Coordinator:
