CROTONA INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

CROTONA 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 329 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 22 teachers, CROTONA INTERNATIONAL 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.

CROTONA INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL, located in the Bronx, is a specialized New York City public school dedicated to serving recent immigrants and English Language Learners (ELLs). The school creates a supportive, multicultural environment where students from diverse linguistic and national backgrounds can develop their English proficiency while simultaneously working toward their high school diplomas. By focusing on a rigorous curriculum that integrates language acquisition with core academic subjects, the school ensures that its students—many of whom are newcomers to the U.S. school system—are prepared for success in college and career pathways.

Beyond its academic mission, Crotona International is known for its strong emphasis on community and social-emotional development. The school utilizes a small-learning-community model, which allows for personalized attention and strong relationships between students and faculty. By fostering a collaborative culture that values the unique experiences of each immigrant student, the school helps its population navigate the challenges of transitioning to life in the United States while building the cultural competence and academic skills necessary to thrive in an increasingly globalized world.
