Crotona International High School

Our mission is to partner with families and local organizations to serve English Language Learners who have recently immigrated to the United States from countries around the globe. Our graduates are prepared for success both in college and in careers in Media & Communications. Our school and classes are small; every student is known and supported to achieve. Staff and students work and learn collaboratively in heterogeneous groups. Students develop English language literacy and critical thinking skills by engaging in classroom projects, service learning, and internship programs. They learn to advocate for themselves and their families and to become active leaders in their communities.
