About
Flushing International High School is a small school that caters to recent immigrants who are new to the United States and are in the process of learning English. The school operates on a team-based approach where teachers and students collaborate to working on interdisciplinary student projects. They provide support for both native language and English language development across all subjects. To graduate, students must complete graduation-level portfolio tasks. The program is designed to prepare immigrant students for success in college and the workforce. The school is part of the Career Readiness and Modern Youth Apprenticeship (CRMYA) program, which aims to support career readiness for all students. Beginning in 10th grade, students also have the opportunity to take college courses and participate in internships to explore careers of interest. We are part of the Career Readiness and Modern Youth Apprenticeship (CRMYA) pilot, which helps us support career readiness for all our students. We have courses that help our ninth and tenth graders explore their career interests and develop readiness skills. Our students can apply for apprenticeships in tech, finance, and business, which allows them to earn and learn while in high school.
