Internationals Network for Public Schools

Our mission is to provide quality education for recently arrived immigrants by growing and sustaining a strong national network of innovative public secondary schools, while broadening our impact by sharing proven best practices and influencing policy for English Language Learners (ELLs) nationally.

English Language Learners represent nearly 10% of the US public school population. Across the US, immigrant ELLs graduate at among the lowest rates and dropout at among the highest of all student subgroups. Internationals Network for Public Schools is the only school-development and -support organization that specifically addresses the educational needs of this population. Based on 33 years of experience, Internationals Network has proven methods for tailoring the core principles encompassing instruction, culture, structure, and leadership—to effectively serve this population.

We partner with public schools, districts, community organizations, and others to design, open and support schools and provide professional development and resources to educators.
