Why Invest in the Austin International School?
The Austin International School is the only French-Spanish-English
immersion school in town. In its eighth 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 eventually from all
economic levels have the chance to grow and learn here.
Technology is rapidly changing and the ability to keep 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.
