INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL

INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public high school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT # 7 school district, located in BRONX, NY with about 384 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 27 teachers, INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL (ICHS), located at 345 Brook Avenue in the Bronx, is a specialized public high school designed to serve the unique needs of recent immigrants to the United States. As a member of the Internationals Network for Public Schools, the institution operates on a mission to provide rigorous academic instruction while simultaneously supporting students as they acquire English language proficiency. The school serves a diverse population of English Language Learners (ELLs), fostering an environment that honors the varied cultural and linguistic backgrounds of its students.

Academically, ICHS utilizes a project-based learning model that integrates language development with core subject mastery. The school places a heavy emphasis on collaboration, requiring students to work in heterogeneous groups to solve problems and complete interdisciplinary projects. By prioritizing student voice, social-emotional development, and a "small school" environment, INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL aims to ensure that its graduates are prepared for the demands of college and professional life, helping them navigate their new community while maintaining a strong sense of personal identity.
