In today’s world, students must be prepared to become global citizens and 21st century collaborators and thinkers. Students entering a global economy will need the skills and ability to understand and work with various cultures and societies, and have respect and understanding of their different traditions and histories. Students participating in an International Education and International Baccalaureate program are reaching for success in higher education and are enthusiastically becoming active participants in a global society.

Eugene International High School was identified as one the best examples of international education around the country in 2007, when it was awarded the Goldman Sachs Foundation High School Prize for Excellence in International Education. IHS is a teacher developed school-within-a-school across three high school campuses in Eugene, Oregon. Students at Churchill, Sheldon and South Eugene High Schools learn curriculum centered on various topics such as world cultures, international knowledge, language acquisition, world geography, world literature, history, current events, world health, political systems, belief systems, and the theory of knowledge.
