Academics

[edit]

Lafayette International Community High School offers educational programs geared towards refugee and immigrant students who have arrived in the United States within the past four years. The curriculum is based on project-based learning with a focus on accommodations and career programs for English language learners.^[2] The building serves as a community school for the greater West Side, offering community and family educational programs after school hours and on selected weekends.
