International Baccalaureate

International Baccalaureate, a program for juniors and seniors enrolled in Eugene IHS, is recognized by most colleges and universities for credit or advanced standing. Students seeking the International Baccalaureate Diploma must pass six examinations, complete a 4,000 word extended essay, and complete projects in creativity, action, and service. Eugene IHS students may also elect to take examinations in selected subject areas to earn IB certificates. Students passing these subject area exams earn certificates and receive college credit at selected colleges and universities.

The French Immersion Program within Eugene International High School Eugene IHS, in partnership with Sheldon and South Eugene High Schools, offers students the opportunity for language immersion study in Spanish or French. Immersion study requires course work both in the grammar and literature of the language and in the use of the language in the study of another discipline. The study of a variety of subjects in the immersion language is the distinguishing principle of immersion education. Students entering Eugene IHS from a District 4j immersion school in Spanish or French or students who demonstrate highly advanced skills in these languages may participate in the Spanish or French Immersion Program. If they successfully complete the requirements for the immersion program, students may earn the Immersion Medallion from Eugene IHS in recognition of full participation and enrollment in the immersion program for four years. Students who transfer from other language programs or students who have studied abroad may qualify for one of the immersion programs.
