Welcome to the High School of World Cultures, a vibrant South Bronx community where your journey to global success begins. Representing over 40 countries and 15 different languages, our school is a true global village. We specialize in helping students master the English language while simultaneously excelling in rigorous AP coursework to ensure every graduate meets and exceeds NYS requirements.

Life at World Cultures goes far beyond the classroom. We believe in nurturing your talents and passions through a wide array of extracurricular programs. Whether you want to master the kitchen in culinary arts, find your voice in music and dance, express yourself through fine arts, report on the world in journalism, or hit a home run on our baseball team, there is a place for you to belong.

What truly sets us apart is our commitment to being a community hub for our families. We understand that for a student to succeed, their family must be supported. That is why we host a full-service on-site medical clinic staffed with doctors and nurses to keep our community healthy. We even offer practical support for daily life, including on-site laundry facilities for our families to wash and dry clothing.

At the High School of World Cultures, we don’t just educate students—we embrace entire families. Join our diverse, multicultural family and discover an environment where your culture is celebrated, and your future is our priority.
