At International School of Texas Austin, our students don’t just learn about the world—they learn with it. As an IB World School, our curriculum is internationally recognized, inquiry-based, and deeply connected to real-world learning. Students develop the skills to think critically, communicate effectively, and lead with integrity—no matter where life takes them.
The International Baccalaureate is at the heart of our academic philosophy—from Early Years through high school.
From early coding and robotics to advanced design and engineering labs, IST students are immersed in a future-focused STEM program that inspires innovation and problem-solving. With hands-on learning experiences and project-based challenges, students don’t just absorb content—they create, test, build, and lead.
In today’s interconnected world, language is power. IST students learn both Spanish and Mandarin, beginning in early childhood. Language acquisition is woven into daily learning, fostering global understanding, communication skills, and cultural fluency.
At IST, learning extends well beyond our campus. Students participate in experiential learning opportunities through local field trips, national excursions, and international travel—broadening their worldview and applying their learning in meaningful, real-world contexts.
A well-rounded education is at the heart of our mission. Students thrive through visual arts, music, theatre, physical education, and competitive athletics—developing not only skills, but confidence, creativity, and joy. Every child is encouraged to explore their passions and grow holistically.
IST is committed to nurturing the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally. Through intentional social-emotional learning (SEL) programs, students build self-awareness, empathy, resilience, and strong interpersonal skills. We create a supportive environment where students feel safe, connected, and empowered to manage challenges with confidence and care.
Our purpose-built campus in Bee Cave is an inspiring environment where safety meets possibility.
Our faculty are experienced, passionate educators who are deeply committed to student growth. With small group support and a collaborative learning environment, IST ensures that students are both challenged and supported every step of the way.
At IST, students and families join a community where relationships matter. We partner with parents, celebrate diversity, and cultivate belonging. From our House system to global service initiatives, students experience a culture of kindness, leadership, and purpose.
Our graduates leave IST with more than strong transcripts—they leave with strong character, global competence, and the confidence to excel in college and beyond. IST students stand out—not just for what they know, but for who they are.
