Overview Paragraph
We help new learners of English develop the language and academic skills necessary for success in college and careers through content-based English as a Second Language. Students and teachers work collaboratively on authentic, experiential, interdisciplinary projects which they present to their fellow students, their teachers, the larger school community and outside visitors. All students complete a twelve-week career internship in a field of interest. We are an iZone 360 and Digital Ready school and take pride in incorporating technology into every class. Teachers and students use computers and iPads extensively in their work. The Brooklyn International High School is an Apple Distinguished Program, recognized by Apple for innovation, leadership and educational excellence. We believe that our students' and families' native languages and cultures are an asset to our school and we are proud to learn from and about them.
