Bronx International High School is located in the South Bronx. All of our students are English Language Learners (ESL) who came from all over the world within the last few years. Many spoke zero English when they arrived and have somehow managed to learn a second (or third or fourth!) language WHILE finishing all of their rigorous high school requirements.

Long before the pandemic, we had been able to use digital platforms schoolwide because all students had individually-assigned iPads. Once school buildings closed in March, our students took those iPads home, but many simply could not go online because they had poor internet access, if at all. Students who received iPads from the city that were equipped with internet access reported ongoing problems with connectivity, which made the iPads nearly useless. Our students come from some of the poorest neighborhoods in New York, and in addition to going to school full time, many work full time to support their families. They do not have money to spare for internet access at home.

In order for our students to succeed, we need 100 hotspots for them to do their work every day. They are already working twice as hard as their English-speaking peers because they are learning their core subjects at the same time they are learning the language in which those courses are taught. Not having internet access at home right now compounds that problem exponentially, and essentially deprives them of an education. We would appreciate any donations Digital Wish and its supporters can offer. Thank you.
