History
During 1925, Indiana University High School began offering distance education courses by paper-mail, to high school students throughout the United States. During 1999, Indiana University formally decided to establish a distance education high school, which provided the traditional paper-mail method and modernized online distance education. Today, IUHS has around 1,925 students and 29 faculty members. During 2011, IUHS moved to 408 N. Union Street, within the offices of the Student Academic Center and the Office of the Registrar. Indiana University High School maintains networking capability through the IU Communications Building, located at Kirkwood Avenue.
