A Message from our Head of School Welcome to the International School of Texas! I am proud to serve as the Head of School for a community that is innovative, welcoming, and committed to providing an education that is rooted in excellence. We have high standards, however we are here to challenge and support EVERY student, EVERY step of the way. We are an IB World School offering rigorous academics in a small setting, yet our students have access to more resources and offerings than most large schools! IST truly is the best of both worlds, and I can speak to this as my own children attend school here. The close-knit community of families is one of the many reasons IST is more than just a school. Of many highlights, we offer Mandarin and Spanish Language programs for all students, competitive robotics and STEM, strong arts and music offerings, over 32 clubs and athletic teams, and a plethora of other opportunities like international travel. All of this is led by a highly qualified and dedicated faculty and staff that continues to do everything possible to support our students. At IST, we value and focus on supporting and developing the whole child. I invite you to schedule a tour, send us an email, and learn more about why we are the premier choice for your child’s education. Our school and community value a sense of belonging for the entire family, and we are excited to welcome you home. Respectfully,
Brian P. Couch Jr., EdM Head of School
