The British International School of Houston provides high quality education in a structured, positive and caring environment designed to meet the individual needs of students.
Our state-of-the-art facilities are designed specifically to enhance learning opportunities for students from Nursery (Pre-Kindergarten) through to Year 13 (Grade 12).
The school welcomes all nationalities, engenders respect for all cultures, and a sense of discipline is naturally achieved.
The British International School of Houston was the third of
the British Schools of America to open, opening its doors in
September 2000.
We are part of the Nord Anglia Education group of 42 schools
around the globe.
The British International School of Houston has a new,
state-of-the-art, purpose built, 33-acre campus, conveniently
located in Katy at Westgreen and I10. It features an impressive
array of cutting-edge facilities and exciting learning areas to
enrich your child's school experience.
Our dynamic learning spaces are specifically designed to
enhance the learning process, with open and moveable classrooms
that can be tailored to each lesson to create collaborative and
exciting environments.
This unique and international style of the school has proven
popular and attractive to a wide variety of American, British and
international families in the Harris county area. Today, BISH's
student body, from Nursery through to Year 13, is made up of
over fifty-two nationalities, the majority being American
and British. The school's capacity is 2000 students.
The British International School of Houston provides a
nurturing environment with a world-class personalised learning
approach that is grounded in each student's unique experiences,
cpabilities and interests. With roots in the Houston community and
international curricula founded on British values, we develop
lifelong learners who are resilient, confident and capable of
shaping the world around them.
From the enquiry and play based approach in the Early Years to
the highly specilised IB Diploma Programme, our students benefit
from a differentiated and personalised approach that empowers every
student to make exceptional progress.
As early as three years of age, children at BISH begin to learn
to read through carefully guided play. Our Primary school students
perform well beyond their peers when benchmarked against
international standards. This trend continues through our IB
Diploma Programme in high school, where our students score amongst
the top 5% of students worldwide.
Our graduates are accepted into prestigious universities, both
in the US and worldwide, inluding Cornell University, London School
of Economics, West Point Academy, Oxford University, UCLA and the
University of Cambridge, to name but a few.
No matter where our students come from, they leave better
prepared with a global passport to their future. We are more than a
place to learn: We are the place to be.
Decades ago private schools could have been accused of being elitist. You had to have money to attend. The student populations were fairly homogeneous. Fortunately that has changed.
