For more than 25 years, The British International School of Houston has been recognized as one of the city’s most academically ambitious and globally minded private schools. Our recent feature in the Houston Chronicle highlights how BIS Houston blends world‑class teaching, personalized support, and internationally respected curricula to help students discover their strengths and excel.
In a city filled with good schools, BIS Houston stands apart—not by selecting the few, but by elevating each child who walks through its doors. Prospective parents visiting the campus recognize the difference immediately. Expectations are high. The framework is clear. But something deeper resonates: a culture that is ambitious and warm, where children don’t simply perform—they flourish. Taken together, it’s an uncommon proposition in Houston: exceptional outcomes, an inclusive ethos, and a global network within a neighborhood setting.
As Principal Barrie Scrymgeour explains, “Great academics open doors, but well‑rounded individuals walk through them and thrive.”
The Houston Chronicle feature explores what makes our school unique in Houston’s competitive educational landscape—from our inclusive, community‑driven culture to our outstanding IB Diploma and English National Curriculum pathways. It reflects our core belief: when students are challenged, supported, and known as individuals, they achieve exceptional outcomes.
