A Model of Success
At The International School of Texas, we measure success not only by transcripts and test scores, but by the character, competence, and confidence of the young people who walk across our stage at graduation.
An IST graduate embodies the values and attributes cultivated through years of IB inquiry-based learning, community engagement, experiential travel, and personal growth. They leave IST prepared to lead with integrity, think with nuance, and act with purpose — wherever their path takes them.
An IST Graduate Is:
A Community Builder
Equipped to analyze complex problems, consider multiple perspectives, and develop thoughtful, evidence-based solutions.
A Confident Communicator
Articulate and persuasive in multiple languages and formats — written, spoken, and visual — with the ability to engage diverse audiences.
A Global Citizen
Culturally aware, multilingual, and experienced in navigating diverse communities. IST graduates have traveled internationally, studied two world languages, and learned alongside peers from over 40 nationalities.
A Servant Leader
Committed to service as a way of life. Through the IB framework, community projects, and school traditions, IST graduates understand that leadership begins with empathy and action.
A Resilient Innovator
Comfortable with ambiguity, unafraid to take risks, and skilled at turning challenges into opportunities. IST's entrepreneurship programs and project-based learning develop graduates who create, adapt, and lead.
A Lifelong Learner & Classically Liberal Thinker
Curious, reflective, and self-directed. IST graduates don't stop learning when the class ends — they carry the IB Learner Profile attributes with them into college, careers, and communities around the world.
