History

I-Prep's temporary location on Clinton Street from 2011 to 2013

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.

Academics

In total, the school boasts enough college-level classes for students to earn nearly 70 college credits.

The school offers an Architecture & Design academy through University at Buffalo for its high school students. Other programs include its Business Academy and Multilingual Teacher Academy.[2] In order to apply to its Multilingual Teacher Academy, student needs to submit grades, attendance, and a teacher's recommendation.

It is partnered with Niagara University, SUNY Erie, University at Buffalo, D'Youville College, Father Belle Center, and Community Action Organization.[1]
