International Studies Preparatory Academy, or ISPA for short, is a school unlike any other. ISPA is a prestigious magnet school specializing in language easily separates itself from the rest of the crowd. It's a vibrant and highly diverse school with students from various regions worldwide, specifically from Europe. Its location is extremely convenient, located right next to a supermarket, a famous shopping center with a movie theater, a gym, and many delicious restaurants. Many of the students are highly competitive and stand out from the rest when it comes to their education and athletic capabilities. A very high percentage of students graduate and get accepted into high-ranking universities, many of them receiving scholarships for their hard work ethic. I absolutely adore my school and recommend it to everyone, especially those who have recently moved to Miami from another country.
The great thing about this school is that it is a small public magnet high school, with a strong foreign language concentration. Students are required to take an average of 3 hours per day in their foreign language of choice, Spanish, French and Italian. The school offers a wide variety of Honors and AP classes as well as Dual Enrollment (college classes) providing high school seniors with an opportunity to take college level courses while in high school.
The preparation and attention I received at ISPA has been invaluable in preparing me for college. The courses offered at ISPA are challenging, the teachers engaging, and the small class sizes, in comparison to other high schools in my district, provide their students with a more nuanced and personal learning experience.
I am both a better student and scholar due to the learning environment that is fostered at ISPA. Due to ISPA’s outstanding preparation, I feel very confident about my future college success.

International Studies Preparatory Academy is definitely a school like no other. Almost every single student comes from a completely different area in the world, bringing a vast amount of diversity and uniqueness to the school experience. Additionally, The small size of the student body and even physical campus makes ISPA a very tight-knit community, allowing students opportunities for growth and academic challenges while having a strong support system by their side.
The only weakness that I would highlight is that the teachers can be either really good, or really bad. There were many classes that I had to self-teach myself for the most part because the teacher simply did not really know how to teach. Nevertheless, regardless of the quality of the teacher, faculty and staff really do get to know each student as a person, which is something I really value about the school.
All in all, even with its few flaws, ISPA is a great school with a great community.
