The British International School of Houston offers an outstanding private education unlike anywhere else. We shape memorable experiences beyond the classroom; deliver excellent preparation for university and life with programmes and curricula widely recognised throughout the world; and enhance our activities with premier resources from MIT, UNICEF, Juilliard and IMG Academy. The great variety and rigour of learning opportunities at BIS Houston well prepares students to thrive – no matter what they want to be or do in life.
We recruit teachers who are global talents to BIS Houston because they not only deliver first-rate education; they inspire our students’ confidence, resilience, and creativity within an internationally minded environment. BIS Houston’s students, in turn, stay motivated by their passion for learning and excitement for the future – and many go on to attend the world’s top colleges and universities.
Established in 2000 in Katy, Texas, the British International School of Houston has been offering a personalised international education to students between three and eighteen years old for over 25 years in the Houston area.
Our welcoming school community strives to empower every student to discover their greatest potential and achieve more than they ever imagined. We serve a community of learners from over 75 nationalities, and our talented teachers are known for successfully using differentiated learning techniques to challenge and support each child in the classroom, as appropriate to their needs and goals – with a balance between academics and personal growth. Our teachers are leaders in our well-established and globally recognised curricula of British heritage and international scope.
BIS Houston is accredited to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), a gold standard of global education, as a premier private international school in Houston, Texas.
We're also accredited as a Centre for the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) to offer Cambridge examination courses in the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE).
Additionally, we’re accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), an internationally recognised standard of excellence that speaks to our high quality and integrity.
We are proud to share that BIS Houston is now a member of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS). This means we’ve been quality-assured against rigorous standards and officially recognised for delivering a high-quality British education. As part of this global network, we will benefit from exceptional opportunities for both staff and students – from professional development to international events and collaborations. This further strengthens our national and international standing alongside our NEASC accreditation, International Baccalaureate World School status, and Apple Distinguished School recognition.
"We were looking for a unique opportunity for our children and BIS Houston completely stood out for us – to give them not only the academics, but the leadership and commitment to learning to be prepared for college. There’s no doubt in my mind that my children are ready for university and beyond. The British International School of Houston has certainly met all my expectations."
