Welcome to the British International School of Houston, where our mission is to transform the lives of learners. My background in education spans over 20 years of teaching and leading schools. I have the privilege of leading an exceptionally qualified team of educators as they create a community that fosters student learning and personal growth. There is no limit to what can be achieved, and with our student-centred approach to learning for every child, our students thrive now and throughout their lives. I am proud of our academic outcomes and the balanced support we provide to students.
I look forward to the opportunity of getting to know your family and welcoming you to BIS Houston.
The British International School of Houston recruits highly knowledgeable and experienced professionals in the global educational field, who truly enhance the teaching talents of our community. They strengthen BIS Houston’s international outlook and commitment to global citizenship, as 80% are recruited from abroad and arrive with rigorous qualifications that attest to their knowledge. For example, 100% hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) and are professionally certified with the UK’s Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), or the equivalent.
Our teachers are well-versed experts in our approach to personalised learning, including the most effective strategies and techniques for navigating each of our curricula and programmes. Under our teachers’ continual guidance and support, students go on to perform with diligence and excel with their greatest abilities.
Additionally, BIS Houston’s teachers and staff are always upgrading their skills and resources through professional development opportunities. Through Nord Anglia University (NAU) – Nord Anglia Education’s vibrant online training platform – they take advantage of world-class resources from Apple, MIT, Juilliard, UNICEF, and King's College London.
To uphold top-tier teaching and learning standards at British International School of Houston, our teachers are experts in structuring all lessons and activities through world-leading curricula. This includes the English National Curriculum’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, the International Primary Curriculum, the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), and the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO)’s curricula – each attesting to our high quality and integrity as an international school.
We're also accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), another globally recognised standard that represents the excellent value and rigour we bring to the field.
The British International School of Houston has a seamless high-tech environment, where every student is fully immersed in the newest integrated technologies. We lead Ed-Tech in the Houston area as a certified ‘Apple Distinguished School’ – a highly selective distinction that showcases our vision for using state-of-the-art tech to boost learning, using Apple products.
Technology is not a separate component at BIS Houston; it’s fully embedded across all subjects and activities. 80% of our talented teachers have been certified as Apple Distinguished Educators, and they pave the way forward for our students. We employ a 1:1 device programme, so every student can use their own Mac or iPad to boost their research and apply technical skills to their projects or assignments – under the guidance of our expert teachers.
As a result, BIS Houston’s students discover innovative ways to apply tech in their studies, and this helps them to gain a head start on their university pathway or future career.
Our Admissions team would be happy to hear from you. Schedule a tour of our campus or a virtual meeting to learn more about our programme and what makes us distinct.
