International High School at Prospect Heights (IHSPH) is a four-year college preparatory secondary school in Brooklyn, specifically designed for recent immigrants who are learning English. Opened in September 2004, the school utilizes a collaborative, project-based learning model where students earn a regular high school diploma while simultaneously developing English proficiency. Students engage in language-rich academic experiences and participate in Performance-Based Assessment Tasks (PBATs) as an alternative to certain standardized tests.
The campus features a scanning entry for safety and offers unique resources such as restorative justice circles and a dedicated "Dreamer’s Scholarship" for undocumented youth. Notable programs include Code Nation for technology skills and the Chill program for snowboarding. With a focus on cross-cultural interaction, IHSPH provides diverse extracurriculars like the Haitian and African clubs. The school is particularly known for its advisory program and specialized support for multi-lingual learners who have been in the United States for four years or fewer.
