Manhattan International High School

Manhattan International High School (MIHS) is a vibrant, multicultural community dedicated to serving recently immigrated students who are new English Language Learners (ELLs). The school embraces students from over 60 nationalities speaking 40 different languages, fostering a supportive and dynamic learning environment. It is recognized as an Apple Distinguished School, integrating technology into its project-based, interdisciplinary curriculum, which culminates in portfolio presentations for graduation. MIHS offers a robust Software Engineering Program, College Now, and Advanced Placement (AP) classes, alongside extensive Work-Based Learning opportunities. Students can also access college courses from institutions like Stanford and Howard Universities through the EdEquity program. Parents consistently report overwhelmingly positive experiences, particularly regarding communication and support, with student surveys also indicating a safe and positive school climate. While the school's graduation rate and college enrollment percentages are below citywide medians, which is common for schools serving this specialized population, it provides a strong foundation for academic and linguistic growth. The school is housed in the Julia Richman complex on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
