25 years of Austin International School growing deep roots in our community.

Celebrating 25 Years of Excellence, Building the Next 25

This year marks a milestone - 25 years of Austin International School growing deep roots in our community. For a quarter century, families like yours have built a foundation that shaped generations of global citizens. Now it's YOUR turn to become part of our "Roots of 25 Years" - leaving your mark on our school's history while propelling us into the next 25 years.

For twenty-five years, Austin International School has offered something truly exceptional: a seamless trilingual education that prepares students for success anywhere in the world. Our unique curriculum blends the best of French and American educational traditions, enhanced by Singapore Math, with 60% of instruction in French and the remaining 40% thoughtfully divided between English and Spanish.

This isn't just multilingual education—it's multicultural thinking in action. Our students don't simply learn languages; they learn in languages, developing the cognitive flexibility and global perspective that today's world demands. With accreditation from the French Ministry of Education, recognition by Independent Schools of the Southwest, and our recent achievement as an IB Middle Years Programme school, we maintain the highest international standards while nurturing true global citizens.
