Academics

CSI High School's consistent, curriculum-wide emphasis on the infusion of international content and study of international issues provides a unifying framework for the school's instructional program. This theme not only provides a common focus in the development and adaptation of course content, it stimulates the development of common habits of mind such as analyzing the validity of information from a variety of perspectives, exploring and understanding linkages across cultural, economic and political lines, and understanding the significance of the past with respect to current events.

As a benefit of our collaboration with the College of Staten Island, students will have access to the college’s wireless educational technology, the library, a multimedia language laboratory, science and computer laboratories, art spaces, and sports and recreation facilities. CSI college students will serve as tutors to work with all students as needed and English Language Learners will be matched with mentors. For advanced students, there will be ample opportunities for enrichment, including enrollment in credit bearing college courses.
