Overview Paragraph

The High School of Language and Innovation seeks students who have big ideas, enjoy working in teams, and love learning languages. We teach many students who are new to the country. For this reason, our schoolÂ’s student body speaks languages including Spanish, Arabic, Urdu, Bengali, French, Albanian, Wolof, and more! Students learn self-discipline, responsibility, and respect in every class. They are encouraged to speak up, challenge each other, and study at a college level.
