Mission
To create a preferred destination in West Philadelphia for both international residents and cultural activities that encourages all participants, international and American, to believe in the goodness of one another and a lasting understanding that all people are essentially the same.
Top 4 Popular Ideas (by Votes):

Design that dissolves the Mess:
IHP will:

• purchase the recently vacated West Philadelphia High School for a reasonable price,
• engage and co-opt the city, state, universities, corporate and community stakeholders in developing a “destination” in West Philadelphia through the nucleus of an international house campus with associated global village
• endow the new system with all the design elements that have identified and spelt out, and
• manage the transition by judiciously exploiting the current system while developing the new campus.
