TEACHERS & STAFF

A SUPPORTIVE STAFF

International Community High School aims to provide a quality education for a diverse population of recently arrived immigrants that will allow them to develop linguistic, cognitive, and cultural skills necessary for success in high school, college, and beyond. Within our diverse community, fluency in a language other than English is an asset that is celebrated. ​

 

Through interdisciplinary teams and project-based instruction, students collaboratively learn English. Students develop their language skills through literacy-rich content area studies. Teachers are empowered to collaborate within discipline and interdisciplinary teams to foster high expectations guiding our students to reach their full academic potential.
