About

We are a small International school that works in teams to prepare newcomer students for college and careers while they learn English. We value all that our students bring to our school, especially their native languages and culture. Students are prepared academically, socially and emotionally to achieve success in college, career, and in life no matter where they begin. Our college advisory program helps all of our students graduate with a plan that connects them with scholarships and financial aid for college in and out of state. To learn about careers, every student has an internship experience prior to graduation. Our rich academic program that includes the arts, sports, computer science, and clubs is open to all students.

Art
At International High School at Prospect Heights, we believe that the arts are core disciplines. As with other disciplines, our arts team uses and refines a list of discipline-based learning outcomes, in addition to schoolwide outcomes for language and collaborative learning. We leverage interdisciplinary curriculum to help students understand the complexity and beauty of their own experiences and the world around them. As a small school, we highly value our arts partnerships. Classroom residencies help bring learning to life, introduce students to career professionals, and diversify the ways in which students can express their ideas. We also rely on arts partnerships to help us connect students to outside programming when their interests exceed our course catalogue.
