OUR COMMITMENT IS PRETTY SIMPLE.

EVERY CHILD IS A LEADER.

It is our pursuit, as educators, to give our children the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly complex and global world.  We engage in rigorous academics and inquiry-based learning and analysis.  Our World Languages program introduces our students to Spanish and Mandarin, while preparing them for a multi-lingual future.  Our STEM Lab provides a hands-on environment to build, design, and embrace technology.

And yet, at IST we also believe in the power of play, the joy of collaboration, and the importance of healthy habits, from nutritious foods to physical activity and integrating the outdoors into our learning environment.

Our students are encouraged to challenge themselves, take risks, become leaders, and to work together.  We are educating future leaders for a world that we cannot even imagine yet.

We believe that the future is bright, because we see it in our students.

let’s build our future.

WE LEARN. WE CARE. WE LEAD.

International School of Texas is a non-profit, independent private school serving the Austin / Lake Travis areas of Bee Cave, Lakeway, Steiner Ranch, Four Points, River Place, Spicewood, Westlake and the surrounding communities.  IST is a proud IB World School, educating students in the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP).  These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education that IST believes is important for our students. We educate learners and leaders from Junior Pre-K (age 3) through Grade 8.

IST provides a comprehensive education that is inquiry-based and internationally minded, enabling children to become lifelong learners.  IST students are knowledgeable, empathetic, and caring global citizens, inspired to take action and solve problems for the betterment of themselves, others, and the world around them.

The cornerstones of this mission include:

IST’s World Languages Program teaches students to speak Spanish and Mandarin, preparing them to be multi-lingual.

Our student-teacher ratio is 8:1, and 58% of our educators have a masters or doctoral degree.

Teachers lead students in inquiry-based education, with an average class size of 17.

We believe in the leadership potential of every child, and empower students to take leadership roles at IST and in their community.

We believe in balanced eating for health and nutrition, and partner with a talented lunch vendor to make healthy lunches and snacks available to our community daily.

Students engage in STEM education, from Singapore Math to coding and robotics;  IST’s MYP students also dive into the study of Design.

WE CAN’T WAIT TO MEET YOU! BUT MAINLY YOUR CHILD ….NO OFFENSE.
