The International Preparatory School
The International Preparatory School is a high school that serves grades 9–12 in the Lower West Side of Buffalo, New York . It focuses on providing ample college coursework to prepare its students for post-secondary education. The school chiefly draws on the largely immigrant population of the West Side, and over 40 languages are spoken by the student body.[1] The current principal is Ms. Ella Dunne.
History
The school was first established in 2007 as a school within a school at Grover Cleveland High School to serve the growing diversity of Buffalo's Lower West Side. From 2007 to 2011, the school was based in the building while sharing space with the Grover Cleveland High School students. From 2011 to 2013, International Prep was housed in the former PS 187 Buffalo Academy for Visual & Performing Arts while renovations were being made to the Grover Cleveland building. International Prep returned to Grover Cleveland High in 2013.
