About IHS
Established in 1984, Eugene International High School (Eugene IHS) is an award-winning alternative school in international studies for students in grades nine through twelve. The school is designed for students who value global understanding and communication, cultural differences, and improving the human condition. Eugene IHS offers a four-year interdisciplinary humanities curriculum focused on the study of nations, their cultures, history, artistic expression, and political, economic, and belief systems. Students who graduate from Eugene IHS will have developed a cultural awareness necessary for international communication and understanding.
Located at three sites in District 4J on the campuses of Churchill High School, Sheldon High School, and South Eugene High School, Eugene IHS offers students a core curriculum in international studies during part of their school day. During the other part, Eugene IHS students can select from an array of courses offered in the host schools in the sciences, mathematics, languages, publications, applied technology, physical education, and fine and performing arts. Students with advanced language skills in Spanish or French have the opportunity to participate in language immersion courses in Eugene IHS at the Sheldon and South campuses respectively. We are open via district lottery to any student who wishes to attend.
