We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

As a senior enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program at Chesterton Senior High School (CHS), I have had a wonderful experience with both the teachers and my fellow classmates. I have also gained an education which has overall aided in building crucial life skills and preparing me for life post high school.
