School Overview

Bronx International High School is a specialized public school located in the Morrisania section of the Bronx, designed specifically to serve the needs of recent immigrants and English Language Learners (ELLs). The school utilizes an inquiry-based, interdisciplinary curriculum that emphasizes project-based learning. By prioritizing small class sizes and a supportive, collaborative environment, the school focuses on helping students develop strong academic skills while simultaneously achieving proficiency in English.

The school is part of the International Network of Public Schools, a group of institutions dedicated to fostering a "community of learners" where students from diverse cultural backgrounds can share their experiences. Beyond academics, Bronx International places a heavy emphasis on student advocacy, social-emotional development, and preparing its graduates for post-secondary success. By integrating language acquisition with rigorous core subjects, the school aims to bridge the gap for students transitioning into the American educational system, empowering them to become active, informed citizens.
