KINGSBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

KINGSBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public high school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT #10 school district, located in BRONX, NY with about 468 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 26 teachers, KINGSBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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.

KINGSBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL (KIHS), located in the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx, is a specialized secondary institution designed specifically to serve the needs of recent immigrants to the United States. As a member of the Internationals Network for Public Schools, the institution employs a unique pedagogical model that integrates intensive English language instruction with rigorous academic content. By focusing on the intersection of language acquisition and core subjects, the school aims to ensure that English Language Learners (ELLs) can achieve high academic standards while successfully transitioning into American society.

The school is defined by its collaborative and student-centered environment, which prioritizes small group work and project-based learning. Because its student body consists exclusively of newcomers who have been in the country for a limited time, KIHS fosters a highly supportive culture that emphasizes social-emotional growth alongside academics. By leveraging the diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds of its students, the school creates an inclusive community that prepares its graduates for college and career success despite the unique challenges inherent in the immigrant experience.
