Academics

Lafayette International Community High School offers educational programs geared towards refugee and immigrant students who have arrived in the United States within the past 4 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.
