INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL

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.
