A Soft Landing for Global Families: The Awty International School

Awty International School is a leading international school in Houston, driven by a clear and meaningful purpose: helping students grow into global citizens.Through a rigorous bilingual education and internationally recognized academic pathways, Awty prepares students from early childhood through high school as they develop curiosity, critical thinking, and cultural awareness. In a deeply multicultural environment, the school encourages students to engage with differences, learn from multiple perspectives, and build the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly connected world.

Parents\’ Voices from the Awty Community

Q: What surprised or impressed you most about Awty?

The Awty campus is quite extraordinary: the educational resources are impressive, both in terms of sports facilities and teaching materials in the classrooms or provided to students (computers), but what impresses me most is the well-being of the students. Students come to school for their academic work, sports, and activities, and they are happy to be there. They move freely around campus, and many staff members (other than teachers) work to ensure their well-being.

Q: What would you say to a francophone family considering moving to Houston and looking for a school for their children?

Awty is an international school with a French curriculum. It allows students to obtain a French diploma while being immersed in American culture. The strength of the French educational system combined with an openness to American culture and teaching methods: student recognition and support, numerous traditions during transitional years (the end of middle school or high school) that serve as rites of passage to help students grow, individualized guidance counseling, and a focus on welcoming new students (numerous welcome activities, ambassadors, attention from staff). Furthermore, Awty\’s reputation is an asset for the further education of young people.

Q: If you have to choose a word or a phrase to describe Awty, what would it be and why?

I would chose “Together”. Awty organizes student success through the involvement of the institution, students, and families. It is thanks to everyone\’s participation that this success is possible.
