All of our students are English Language Learners when they start at the school. Some students are in the United States up to four years and others only a few days. If you would like to be a part of a safe, supportive community with rigorous and interesting classes, lots of different programs and opportunities, all kinds of sports, and careful attention to college readiness, then the International High School at Lafayette is for you!
The International High School at Lafayette was founded and is supported by our partner organization, the Internationals Network for Public Schools (INPS). As part of the Internationals Network, we serve recent immigrant English language learners who enroll with four years or less of education in United States schools.
My name is Adriana Ayala. I am the Parent Coordinator of International High School at Lafayette. My role as a Parent Coordinator is to serve as a facilitator - to bridge the gap between teachers, parents, and students. I am here to help you find answers to questions you may have during the school year.

Went to Lafayette in the sixties. I was a member of the scholarship. block destined for college. Had teachers like Mr.Zelon for biology, Mr Berger for chemistry, and Mr.Hankin for Math. There wasn't a better educational experience in New York. Went on to become an optometrist. Many of my classmates and friends have similar success stories.
So many detracting stories about Lafayette I thought there should be at least one in praise.

My cousin goes to this school and she is extremely happy with the teachers , staff , students , and level of learning. Her English is second language .This school has diversity of students from different religions , cultures , languages and backgrounds. My cousin's father was killed in Iraq and her mother was worried in the beginning but everything was great after that when she sees her daughter's becoming more intelligent , smart , and happy from school. Thank you on behalf of my deceased uncle's family.
