World-Class Teachers

Exceptional Teachers, Exceptional Outcomes

At the British International School of Houston, academic excellence begins with our teachers. 100% of our teachers are experienced professionals with internationally recognised qualifications. Unlike many systems where standards can vary, our world class educators meet a global gold standard - bringing a global perspective and deep subject knowledge into every classroom.

Recruited internationally for their expertise, our teachers are not only highly qualified, they are deeply invested in every student’s success. This commitment to teacher quality is what sets BIS Houston apart from other top schools in Houston.

BIS Houston students consistently achieve results that reflect the strength of our teaching and the rigor of our globally respected curricula.

Our IGCSE results set us apart with students achieving 46% A–A grades, 93% A–C grades, and 96% earned 5 or more A–C grades including English and Maths.

The Class of 2025 IB students achieved an average score of 34 points, well above the global average of 30.58. We saw a 92% pass rate in the Diploma Programme and a 100% pass rate in the Career-related Programme. Twenty-four percent of students scored above 40 points, placing them in the top 4% globally. Forty-nine percent of all grades were 6 or 7, equivalent to A*–A at A Level. Our students received over $6.3 million USD in scholarship offers and university acceptances from institutions such as Columbia, Imperial, UCL, Rice, McGill, UT Austin and many more.

These outcomes are not just impressive - they are consistent across subjects, year groups, and graduating classes, year after year.  At BIS Houston, we don’t just prepare students for college - we empower them to access the world’s most competitive academic institutions and unlock global futures. 

A Culture of Learning - for Everyone

At BIS Houston, learning never stops. Through Nord Anglia University, our teachers access world-class professional development from institutions including MIT, IMG, Juilliard, and Apple. This ensures our teaching remains innovative, relevant, and deeply engaging.

Our performing arts faculty, for example, collaborate directly with Juilliard specialists to bring world-class creativity into the classroom - something few schools in Houston can offer.

Strong Relationships, Happy Students

Academic success is built on trust, connection, and wellbeing. That’s why 95% of BIS Houston parents say their child has a strong relationship with their teacher, and 96% say their child is happy at school.

These relationships are the foundation of our students’ confidence, motivation, and resilience - qualities that matter just as much as academic results. 

Learning Without Limits

Our teachers lead learning in state-of-the-art facilities designed to inspire and support every learner. From our MIT-inspired Makerspace and Juilliard-designed Performing Arts Centre to our light-filled Agora Library, every space is crafted to elevate the learning experience.

Recent campus enhancements include a second turf soccer field, upgraded computer science classrooms, a transformed Boma with expanded food options, the new Boma Café and The Hub for student study and events, and enhanced outdoor spaces to promote wellbeing and balance. At BIS Houston - designing learning spaces for the future is part of a long term strategy.
