ISCHS (International Studies Charter High School)

IISCHS is rated an “A+” High School and “A” Middle School according to FSA results. It ranks in the top 5 high schools in Miami.  Its AP results are 30% above the Florida and US average.

ISCHS is the only accredited school by the French Ministry of National Education, from 6th grade (6ème) to 12th grade (Terminale) and a member of the AEFE network. The French International Studies program at ISCHS is unique in Miami because ISCHS is the only school that gives students the opportunity to graduate with an American high school diploma and a French Baccalaureate, in a tuition free environment. The students enrolled in the French program enroll in the most prestigious universities in the US, Canada, France and around the world.

The core subjects of the French program are taught in French while American subjects are taught in English. American and French methods of teaching and learning are very different. Students navigate daily between two educational systems, which creates multicultural global minds.
