Welcome!
IHS offers a rigorous college preparatory program for students who are learning the English language in a multicultural educational environment. IHS accepts students who are English language learners and who have been in the United States fewer than four years at the time of application. Once admitted, the students remain with the school for their entire high school career. They receive a substantive high school/college curriculum taught with a content-based English-as-a-new-language approach. At the same time, students maintain and further develop their native language skills by engaging in peer-mediated instructional activities using materials and resources in English as well as their native languages.
