Welcome to the Austin International School!   

Dear Parents and Members of the School Community.

Is there anything more important than the education of our children?

The future of our society is in the hands of today’s students. For this reason, it is crucial to guide our students toward a solid knowledge base while maintaining a multicultural priority.  In fact, knowledge and learning make sense only if they are followed by good manners. 

The mind goes through a rigorous process while learning languages and openness to other cultures.  This process is a real asset in the context of globalization. A pedagogic and educational team needs to take this into consideration in order to become stronger and at the level that is demanded not only by our school but also the outside world.  Furthermore, our educational project, while respecting the orientations of the French program, relies on an original apprenticeship of 3 essential languages: English, Spanish and French, starting from Petite Section (PK-1).

"Success" is a word that is synonymous with, among others, "work", "perseverance", and "respect for others", without regard to religion, nationality or political orientation. The success and the well being of our students is at the center of our concerns here at AIS and I am very pleased with the enthusiasm and the willingness of the entire school community to reach this success (parents, students, board members, teachers, assistants and other supporters of our school).

We are firm in our belief that this enthusiasm allows us to reinforce the image of our school and its recognition by the official institutions (French Ministry of National Education, NAEYC: National Association for the Education of Young Children).

To one and all, I wish you an excellent school year.
