ABOUT US

United Through Language & Learning

International Community High School began in 2006. It is part of the International Network for Public Schools. It was founded when the network expanded, becoming the 8th international school. The school began under the leadership of Berena Cabarcas who has been the school's principal since its commencement. ​ International Community High School is a progressive public school situated in the vibrant South Bronx that has been dedicated to educating English Language Learners.

How does International Community High School, located in the South Bronx, best partner with students and families from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds effectively?

We specialize in educating recently-arrived immigrant youth. Our teachers and staff are dedicated to helping students from all cultures develop their English language skills and prepare for their new lives in this country. Additionally, our school is a Performance-Based School, thus allowing the student to demonstrate their skills through research and presentation instead of high-stakes Regents exams.
