A stimulating, positive environment

Our vision

Our children live in a highly interdependent and interconnected world – a world emphasizing peoples’ exchanges, interactions, shared experiences, and commonalities.

Today our school is a positive reflection of this global situation.

To thrive, children need strong interpersonal skills, efficient strategies to interact positively with people from a variety of cultural backgrounds, and an ability to adapt to ever-changing economic and social conditions.

With a solid sense of who they are – and respect for who others are – Austin International School individuals contribute to their community, both locally and globally. By sharing their expertise, by seeking better alternatives, and through an exceptional ability to bring people together, they experience a more fulfilling life, with a strong sense of civic responsibilities.

Our mission

AIS provides an international education based on solid academic foundations, lifelong social skills and a positive forward-thinking outlook, allowing students to thrive in the world of today and tomorrow.

Our curriculum, delivered in three languages and built on a French curriculum framework, develops students’ critical thinking and intellectual curiosity. This will prepare them for academic success in French, American, and international institutions.

Academically this will prepare them to, amongst others, take the International Baccalaureate (IB) or the French International Baccalaureate diplomas.

Our goal is to cultivate independent thinking, build confidence and broaden our students’ perspective to lay the foundation for success in a global community.
