S.F. International High

San Francisco International High School (SFIHS), located at 1050 York Street in the Mission District, is a specialized public high school within the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) designed specifically for recent immigrants. The school serves students who have been in the United States for fewer than four years and are still in the process of acquiring English proficiency. By fostering a multilingual and multicultural learning environment, the school aims to provide a supportive transition for students as they navigate both academic development and their new lives in the U.S.

The school is distinguished by its commitment to "deeper learning" and project-based instruction, which allows students to develop critical thinking skills while building language fluency. Because the student body represents a vast array of countries and linguistic backgrounds, SFIHS places a heavy emphasis on community and social-emotional support. Through collaborative classroom projects, internship opportunities, and a personalized approach to mentorship, the school prepares its students for success in college and beyond while celebrating the unique global perspectives they bring to the San Francisco community.
