33¶ÌÊÓƵ

The City School District of 33¶ÌÊÓƵ is proud to be a growing hub for refugee families and families whose native language is one other than English. The district is committed to meeting the needs of all of our students and families in partnership with our diverse community.

The 33¶ÌÊÓƵ International Center serves refugee and immigrant students in grades 6-12 from throughout the City School District of 33¶ÌÊÓƵ who are in the early stages of learning English and will benefit from targeted instruction and support in all subjects. 

The program is considered transitional -- meaning that it gives students the tools and literacy skills they need to return to middle or high school and succeed. The program also provides emotional support services to students learning to assimilate to a new culture.

Students spend an average of two years in the program before returning to their middle school or 33¶ÌÊÓƵ High School.
