BIS Houston: Proud to Be a COBIS Accredited Member and NEASC Accredited
What Accreditation Means for Families
When choosing a school, parents want reassurance. Accreditation provides a globally recognised mark of excellence for international schools. It’s an independent stamp of quality that confirms a school meets high standards in teaching, learning, leadership, and recognition reflects our commitment to academic excellence and world-class opportunities for every student.
For families relocating to Houston or seeking a globally respected education, accreditation signals that your child will be supported, challenged, and prepared for future success.
