Academy for Global Citizenship
Home

The Academy for Global Citizenship is an incubator of educational innovation, a Chicago Public School, and a teacher development hub, nurturing mindful leaders since 2005. It achieves this through social justice, environmental education, dual language learning, wellness, and entrepreneurship. AGC is an award-winning educational model pioneering evidence-based solutions that empower people to thrive, lead, and transform their communities. Its groundbreaking Chicago campus is set to become the first in the Midwest to achieve the world’s highest environmental certification standards, powered by net-positive energy and water systems, and built with classroom teaching kitchens, urban farms, and community gardens. As an International Baccalaureate and Dual Language elementary school, AGC offers experiential, hands-on, nature-centered learning for students on the Southwest Side of Chicago.

Additionally, as an innovator in education and sustainability, AGC provides a variety of immersive thought leadership workshops to support mission-driven individuals and organizations across the world. The school's Village Model and philosophy of communities in school extends beyond its curriculum, with its campus being part of Cultivate Collective, a 6-acre site offering an ecosystem of services, programs, and resources.
