International School of Texas

International School of Texas is a day school in Bee Cave, northwest of Austin, serving about 150 students in pre-school through middle school. The school has no religious affiliation and builds its mission around rigorous academics paired with global citizenship. Unlike schools that teach languages as add-ons, International School of Texas embeds Mandarin Chinese and Spanish as working languages across the curriculum.

This immersion model shapes daily teaching. A math teacher does not simply hand off language work to a specialist. Instead, math and Mandarin teachers co-plan units so students solve problems in both languages. Science classes read texts in Spanish and English side by side. Elementary teachers shift between languages throughout the day. This approach asks for flexibility, but it builds real multilingual competency in students and deepens your own teaching skills in ways traditional classrooms rarely offer.

International School of Texas maintains steady financial footing. Net assets exceed $3.5 million, and the school has grown fundraising support year over year. For faculty in schools under 200 students, budget stability matters deeply. It translates to reliable benefits, professional development funds, and hiring plans that hold. Small schools often feel hiring uncertainty acutely; that is less true here.

The school is hiring classroom teachers at elementary and middle levels, language specialists in Mandarin and Spanish, and administrative and support staff. In a compact day school, faculty shape curriculum directly and know every family. Your voice in meetings influences what gets taught and how the school evolves. The day schedule means you leave campus at dismissal, which appeals to teachers who want school intensity without residential demands.

For educators seeking day school teaching, dual-language immersion practice, or a stable independent school in the Austin region, International School of Texas offers a concrete path forward.
