Welcome to The Awty International School

 

Founded in 1956, Awty is Houston’s premier international school. We offer students a rigorous path to graduating with either the International Baccalaureate or the French Baccalauréat, and are the only school in Houston fully accredited by the French Ministry of Education. Beginning with three year olds, our program combines high academic standards with a kind and friendly atmosphere celebrating cultural, national, and linguistic diversity.

We did it! This year sure looked different but we loved every minute. We would like to wish everyone in the Awty community a safe, healthy, and fun summer break.  Enjoy your time off – you've all earned it!
