As a parent of three children at Austin International School -- in Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 2nd…read moregrade -- I can wholeheartedly say this school has exceeded every expectation. All three of my kids enrolled without any knowledge of a foreign language, which was initially a little nerve-wracking. My second grader was placed in a dedicated French as a Second Language support class, and it made a world of difference. Within a year, he had genuinely acquired the language in a way I didn't think was possible so quickly. My two younger ones jumped straight into the regular classroom, and they too have picked up an impressive amount of French in just one year. One of the most memorable surprises was hearing my kids come home and naturally speak French -- something I never expected to happen so soon. But perhaps the most touching milestone? They now ask me to speak French with them during part of our day at home and correct me when I make a mistake. The language has become something they take pride in and genuinely enjoy -- it's no longer just school, it's part of who they are. Academically, my kids are thriving too -- my second grader's MAP scores showed a remarkable jump from where he started before joining the school. What sets this school apart, though, goes beyond academics. The teachers clearly love what they do and love the kids they teach. Their enthusiasm and dedication are visible every single day -- they are engaged, motivated, and create an environment where children genuinely want to learn. The broader school community has been nothing short of wonderful. Warm, welcoming, and supportive in every way. The Head of School deserves special recognition for the outstanding leadership and tone set at the top -- the culture of this school reflects that every single day. If you're looking for a school where your child will grow academically, linguistically, and as a person -- Austin International School is truly special and we couldn't recommend it more.

Yesterday I called and had an unpleasant conversation with your receptionist who told me that she had no the dates of the exam and can not even tell me when students had DELF earlier this year. She was in a hurry to hang up the phone apparently, because the conversation with a client was something that irritated her a lot. Bizarre school.

I should have been a junior but I was stuck being a sophomore for another year. I went back to ACC trying to get my science class & lab done during the summer but AGAIN they require a class that my university doesn't. This was after I signed up for a class months in advance and paid for it only to find out a couple days before summer registration closes that they've cancelled the class leaving me with very few choices with professors that don't have good ratings. Unless you're graduating from ACC, you could be wasting a lot of money.

Reed Elementary is a truly special school…read more We discovered the school because of the Gómez & Gómez Dual Language program and the more we learned about Reed the more we liked it. The campus is well-maintained and beautiful (with a yard full of bluebonnets!) The student population is wonderfully diverse. The talented and caring staff and leadership are the best anyone could hope for. We moved and built a new home specifically to be in the zone for Reed. Our daughter's kindergarten experience was absolutely awesome, and the teachers made an incredibly good first impression on our entire family. We were all amazed by how quickly the kids picked up a second language and were able to jump right into conversation with others at the playground. We had unexpectedly opened up our daughter to a new world of cultural experiences, and more importantly, great friends. This early experience set the stage for many good things to follow. The other subjects are taught just as effectively as Language Arts. Math and Science are delivered in an interesting and fast-paced way that really clicks with our kid and others in her classes. "Specials" are a big highlight. The selection of books in the library, both English and Spanish, is great! The musical and dance opportunities in Performing Arts are amazing, from concerts throughout the school year to unique events like a special performance at the State Capital. The fundamentals that the kids are taught in Visual Arts provide an excellent foundation for future growth in drawing, painting, and understanding of color. The art projects our daughter brings home, and more importantly, creates completely on her own while AT home using her new and improving skills, are wildly impressive. Physical Education is also a favorite, with exposure to activities and sports that would have blown me away as a kid. And Running Club!! Everyone LOVES Running Club! After struggling with reading, our daughter was diagnosed with Dyslexia and Dysgraphia. The school provides special accommodations for these challenges. The amazing 504 team has been able to keep her learning along with her classmates and actually enjoying reading and writing, something that never happened for me as a kid. Our child's education is our top priority, and time and time again, we are convinced that we made the right choice with Reed Elementary.

We talked during the first lesson about what my specific goals are, and Ms. Claudia has tailored our lessons to give me exactly what I was looking for - and what I was missing in studying on my own. She is very clear and flexible when explaining topics that can be difficult and that has been extremely helpful for me. When I get stuck and can't quite understand a tricky concept, she finds different ways to explain it until I get it. And when there's something I'm interested in learning about that's off-topic, she's super flexible about changing course to include it. She's been phenomenal! I strongly recommend her and the Spanish Academy to anyone who's serious about improving their Spanish at any level.

Ms Siugi allowed us to have Kai sit in one of their demo classes previously to see if he would do well when he was 3 and it was a hit! I always love seeing how all of the kids quickly absorb and have fun interacting in Chinese school! Ms. Siugi is such a positive influence of joy who has a wonderful crew of staff to interact with every child with personalized attention at drop-off, and gives parents a recap of their child's progress at pick-up. Her curriculum utilizes games, songs, activities, and crafts/art to keep kids engaged and excited to learn. I appreciate there is homework that we as family can do together and there's always a weekly video recap sent of what the kiddos learned so i get to follow along :) As an American born Chinese now parent who grew up speaking Mandarin but has lost much of it, I am cognizant of want our kiddo to get as much exposure to speaking Mandarin as possible and play based Chinese immersion classes with Ms Siugi is a treat to make it fun for the kids. We're so thankful for how great we get the chance to allow our son to learn in Austin about his culture and making it fun is what I wanted so he could see another side of learning that I grew up with in Houston and my Chinese parents. Plus the fact that my kiddo can say hello, goodbye and I love you to all his aunties and uncles in Mandarin is the cherry on top! :)
