My experience since I've been here has been nothing but enlightening. The multitude of cultures and heritages let me catch a fresh breath from the typical learning environment. The teachers here find a way to keep an interesting, open minded and attentive class no matter where I go. The sports scene may not be that good but no faculty cares more about their students than the International High school of New Orleans

It is very diverse and has a plethora of classes to choose from. They have multiple languages and they even have Arabic and Vietnamese which is not commonly seen in Louisiana. I am currently attending as I write this review and I do not regret switching here for my last senior year. This school is very accepting of self-expression and being one's true self and there is certainly the least amount of bullying I have ever seen in a high school. There are many clubs such as martial arts and dnd. WE are safe with security cameras and security walking the halls.

I replied that a D is passing but is not good. The CEO/ principal is lost. She is never at the school. The discipline team...

I have 2 sons that graduated from IHSNO. Both have high ACT scores and are attending college on scholarships. The IB program is an excellent jump start for students wishing to enter a diverse and global market. The school is culturally diverse and the location is in the center of New Orleans Busines...
