Consortium Districts:

Welcome to Washtenaw International High School

Washtenaw International High School is a tuition free, public, consortium high school for students in participating Washtenaw County school districts. It opened in Fall of 2011 to its first group of ninth grade students.

The school provides a challenging, student-centered, inquiry-based sequence of courses with an emphasis on international understanding, cultural identity, multiple perspectives and critical thinking. The program emphasizes rigorous academic standards in disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge.

The school has been designed to meet all State of Michigan Graduation Requirements in addition to the International Baccalaureate requirements for teacher training, course design and assessment frameworks. We started the process of authorization for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program in the spring of 2011.
