International Studies Charter High School Reviews

This school overall is a pretty good school it’s very small so we don’t have the best sport’s, we don’t have music and arts aswell as somewhere to practice are sports. The teacher are pretty nice overall. The food is really bad sometimes frozen and not cooked.
My children studies at ISCHS a dual diploma. They obtained their US High School Diploma and french baccalaureate. I can attest of the serious if the school , the teachers . Both my children were able to join the highest level of universities in France (Sciences Po Paris) and the United States (Columbia University). They became bilingual, bicultural and ready to face their college education. Thank you Ischs family !
It is an excellent school for both middle and high schoolers. The teachers are so amazing and understanding, the staff are so good works so hard for the kids safety.
ISCHS is a great school academically. The only bad thing is that the school is small, crammed hallways with middle and high school is a pain. Food is okay but who likes school food nowadays? Uniform and phone policies are really strict. Some pros are that they help you immensely with college and prepping you for your exams correctly. They have a great dual enrollment program. Most classes you take will be honors/AP so when applying to college you have that upper hand. If you go to ISCHS you’re coming to grow your school smarts and learn life skills.
Overall a good school, food could be better and we should include more music and art. I attended this school as a 6th grader student from Italy. Moving to a new country in the middle of my teenage years was very difficult. Total cultural shock, it was very difficult for me to adjust to a new language and culture. Internal studies charter middle/high school gave me the opportunity to be around teachers and students that spoke my language and were part of my culture. I found a new family away from my family. I need to give credit to Mr. Remedios as he was my ESOL teacher he took me under his wing and help me understand those very difficult English concepts. I was able to take classes in English, French, and Italian. This school is very diverse and it provides students with the opportunity to fit in and continue being a part of their culture even when they are away from their home. When it comes to academics International Studies Charter School high has a very rigorous academic programs
The teachers at International Studies Charter HS are the most dedicated, supportive and caring individuals I have ever had the blessing to learn from. Mr. Rodriguez, who was the principal was the most giving individual- I wish he were still here on a day to day basis. I’m not going to lie, senior year has not been the same without him and the new administration is not as approachable and forthcoming with answers. I gave it four stars because of the teachers.
ISCHS is a small family. Everyone in there knows and cares for each other. Your teachers know your name, with small and personal class sizes. Teachers are more than ready to help you grow academically and personally, just like all the staff. We do lack a bit in sports, but when there's a game, everyone cheers and has fun. There sure is a bunch of Eagle spirit! Lots of opportunities to get involved with dozens of clubs catered to many interests. Rigorous academics but with a manageable workload. The food is very tasty! Perfect school. If I could change one thing, it would be to have more time here!
ISCHS is a good school overall. As a middle school student, I have been able to challenge myself academically and work towards my goals. There are many great opportunities that this school provides. These opportunities prepare you for college and the outside world. However, once you become a high schooler, there aren't much classes to choose from. Since the school is small, it has little classrooms, which can make a student feel confined. There aren't many opportunities to boost your chances of getting into college. I have realized that while there are great opportunities for middle schoolers, there aren't as many opportunities for high schoolers. If you are someone who likes to challenge themselves and branch out to their full potential, then I don't think this school is for you.
Started here Sophomore year, coming from a school that didn’t care about me as a student or person. As a school they’re overall amazing academically and a great environment for learning. Class of 2021 has students going to elite universities based on the their own academic and extracurricular achievements. The classes and teachers are good in what they do and provide an excellent curriculum and class engagement.
ISCHS is an amazing school with a really high academic level. I have been at this school since 6th grade and i also found it pretty small and very crowded. I did not necessarily love where it was placed either and did not have a true American high school experience. Nevertheless, ISCHS is a very multicultural school and I met amazing people from around the world. The french program, which i was in, was amazing and it allowed us to graduation with two diplomas.
I came to ISCHS in my sophomore year, and it's a great school. They help you so much with everything about going to college, they support and prepare you a lot. The only thing is that Middle schoolers and high schoolers are all together, in the same building, the same floor, so sometimes it gets overcrowded. I suggest coming to ISCHS if you want to study, learn new languages, and learn about new cultures. But if you're a sports fan, here is not the best place.
This is one of the worst schools in Miami Dade. Administration does not care about students or parents. The workers at the front desk are rude and disrespectful, do not care about others. No rules are administered unless the principal is in the building. Teachers are only hired to fill an empty spot , regardless of their experiences. Vending Machines are changed to healthier options during inspection . Counselor is only their to change schedules , the mental health of students is thrown out the door. Relationships between administration/teachers and students seems inappropriate. Teachers/administration partiality to certain students and it is very much present in the office. Students can not pursue their what they like or want to
study for the lack of classes and sports in the school.

ISCHS may be a small school, but its outstanding academic reputation is great when it comes to preparing students for college life. The school has students from all around the world, and it offers programs in three different foreign languages (Spanish, French and Italian).
I have studied at ISCHS since the 6th grade, over the past 7 years I have experienced many changes in staff and policies. I especially love how close the student body is and how easily accessible the staff and faculty members are. The classes are challenging but effective, and the school successfully strives to prepare students for college. Something I would change is that I would add a music and arts program as it is not readily available, I would also increase funding for student technology as it is limited and sometimes not of the best quality. Overall, I highly appreciate the past 7 years of education and truly believe they have done a great job in making me a well rounded individual.
1. Is kind of hard to make friends in the school if you don't know French.
2. The school is too small.
3. Small amount of quality teachers.
4. Good place for learn French.
5. A very good college preparing counsoler for preparing college.
6. Small amount of people in each class help students more focus in class and gave teachers a good opportunity to help every students one by one.

My passion is art, to me, drawing and dancing are equivalent to breathing. Unfortunately, there are no art classes at ISCHS, where I attended high school. I wish this issue could be solved so that other students who love art as much as I do, can enjoy what I didn't in my time at this school. The classes offered are very basic and there are not many opportunities to explore different subjects. I think that if they had offered a wider variety of classes on my time there, I would have been better able to decide my career choices before starting college.
The biggest attribute the school has is its diversity, you can find people from all over the world at ISCHS, making our school culture very rich. However, the biggest downside about my school, is its size. Because my school is so small that isn't a lot of space for creativity. The school doesn't offer any arts programs where kids can explore their creative. Also because o the size our chooses of classes are very limited. I wish the school and be more helpful in guiding kids, as well as promoting more interactive and creative work.
