Daystar Academy
Faith-based, culturally-engaged, globally minded International Baccalaureate education.
Daystar believes education is about more than what students know. It's about who they are becoming...
We are a Christ-centered IB World School, bringing together students from dozens of churches, cultures, neighborhoods, and backgrounds. We believe the city and the world are our classroom, and that students learn best when they engage real people, real places, and real experiences.
Through the International Baccalaureate framework, students are challenged to think deeply, ask meaningful questions, understand different perspectives, and discover how their gifts can be used to serve others.
We are building a community where students are known, challenged, loved, and prepared to engage the world with wisdom, curiosity, courage, and faith.
Now enrolling for the 2026–27 school year.
We would love the opportunity to meet your family, learn your story, and share ours.

One of Daystar's core beliefs is that the city and the world are our classroom. And that doesn't stop when school lets out for the summer.
Chicago is one of the most historically rich, culturally vibrant, and fascinating cities in the country. Its neighborhoods, parks, museums, public art, architecture, businesses, and communities all have stories to tell. Learning is everywhere.
As adults, we know this instinctively. We learn through conversations, experiences, travel, challenges, and discovery. We want our students to know it too.
That's why Daystar Summer Camps are designed to help students engage the city around them, ask questions, make connections, and see familiar places with fresh eyes. Here's the schedule:
June 22–26 — Sports & Outdoor Adventure
June 29–July 3 — Sports & Outdoor Adventure
July 6–10 — Math & Mind Masters
July 13–17 — Math & Mind Masters
July 20–24 — Explore Chicago
July 27–31 — Explore Chicago

Chicago is full of places to learn. Museums. Parks. Neighborhoods. Cultural institutions. Businesses. Communities. The lakefront. The world beyond.
At Daystar, students don't just learn about these places. They learn through them.
As a Christ-centered IB World School and one of just 43 IB Continuum Schools in the United States, Daystar believes students learn best when learning is connected to real people, real places, and real experiences. Through a globally-minded education, students develop curiosity, critical thinking, empathy, and a sense of responsibility toward the wider world.
Come see why the city and the world are our classroom. Now enrolling Preschool–High School for 2026–27.
