The International High School of the Gothenburg Region (IHGR) also known as The International High School is a municipal high school in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The school was founded in 2002. All classes except for Swedish are taught in English, the official language of the school, but a Swedish curriculum is followed in the social science and natural science programs. The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, however, has a separate curriculum. The school has its own library. Since the school is an international school, there are students studying there from different countries; as many as 60 nationalities are represented.
The school shares a building with the primary International School of the Gothenburg Region.
The International High School has approximately 350 students and 25 teachers.
