IST Launches New Website in Advance of 2026-27 School Year
As The International School of Texas prepares to welcome students for the 2026–27 school year, the school is proud to unveil a completely redesigned website that makes it easier than ever for prospective families, current parents, students, and community members to explore everything IST has to offer.
The new website was thoughtfully designed to provide a more intuitive, accessible, and engaging experience while showcasing the vibrant, globally minded community that defines IST. With streamlined navigation, enhanced search engine optimization (SEO), improved accessibility features, and expanded content throughout the site, visitors can now find the information they need more quickly while gaining a deeper understanding of the school’s mission, programs, and student experience.
Whether families are researching Austin private schools, exploring the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, or learning more about admissions, academics, student life, athletics, or global travel opportunities, the new website provides significantly more comprehensive information than ever before. Newly expanded sections highlight IST’s academic philosophy, experiential learning opportunities, student support services, traditions, international travel, athletics, fine arts, leadership opportunities, and the many experiences that make an IST education unique. The site even features staff biographies, sharing our experienced faculty with the broader community.
The redesigned website also reflects IST’s continued commitment to accessibility and usability. Improved page layouts, clearer organization, mobile-friendly design, and enhanced accessibility standards help ensure that every visitor can easily navigate the site and locate important resources. Existing families will benefit from more centralized information, improved navigation, and easier access to the tools and resources they use throughout the school year.
In addition to improving the user experience, the new website strengthens IST’s digital presence by incorporating modern SEO best practices that help prospective families more easily discover the school online. Expanded content, improved page structure, and enhanced search visibility support the school’s continued enrollment and recruitment efforts while better communicating the distinctive value of an IST education to families across Austin, Texas, and beyond.
“This redesign represents much more than a new look,” said Corey Gayheart, Director of Communications & Marketing. “Our goal was to create a website that truly reflects who we are as a school while making it easier for families to discover information, explore our programs, and experience the warmth and energy of the IST community. We wanted every page to tell our story while serving as a valuable resource for both prospective and current families.”
The launch marks another exciting milestone for The International School of Texas as the school continues to grow its academic programs, expand opportunities for students, and welcome families from around the world. Visitors are invited to explore the new website and discover how IST is preparing students to become curious learners, compassionate leaders, and confident global citizens. Gayheart stated, “A special thank you to Kristopher Ray Bolleter, Jenn de Jong, and Dr. Watson for making this year-long project possible.”
