Why Invest in the Austin International School?

The Austin International School is the best school in town. In its fourth year, the school offers a full language immersion program in French and follows the highly acclaimed French National Ministry of Education curriculum. Spanish is also taught to all students each school day. The teachers are some of the best in Austin, with honors including: CNN-reported successful science programs, over 18 educational grant awards, creative teacher of the year award for an independent school district, and "best movie of the year" awards. Your donations help support excellent educational programs that the school offers and allow the school to continue to recruit and retain the very best teachers.

The Austin International School is truly an international school. The school brings together families from all over the world. There are students from a wide variety of cultures! Your donations help assure that students from all over the world (and in the near future) from all economic levels have the chance to grow and learn here.

Technology is rapidly changing and the ability to keeping with the advances in hardware and software becomes very difficult financially. The school would like to offer students top-notch technologies, but often finds the costs out of reach. Your donations help the school to acquire new computers, construct multimedia centers, and upgrade the classrooms.

The school is an independent and self-supporting institution. This means that the school depends completely on student enrollments to fund and sustain it, with no government, church, or outside support. In recent times, it has become much harder to get visas for foreigners to come to the United States. This means that the number of families naturally interested in the school is reduced and consequently, the budget is extraordinarily tight. Your donations help ensure the financial status and allow the school to expand its unique and successful programs.
