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. From PK3 through 12th Grade/TLE, our program combines high academic standards with a kind and friendly atmosphere celebrating cultural, national, and linguistic diversity.

 

Our Vision

At Awty, we envision a world where every student has the opportunity to grow as an independent thinker, within a rich mix of languages and cultures, with the skills, qualities, and values they need to make a positive impact in our ever-changing world. With more than 1,800 students from more than 50 countries, Awty prepares students to learn and lead anywhere.

Unparalleled language immersion program leading to 2nd and 3rd language fluency.

All of our students, regardless of the grade of entry, study multiple languages, whether through our immersion programs in French and Spanish at the Early Learning level, continuing intensive language study in Lower School, or through our numerous offerings—Arabic, English, German, Italian, Hindi, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Russian—in Middle School and Upper School.
