History
Austin International School, initially called the "Lycée Français d’Austin," was founded in April 2001 by the Consul General of France to Houston, the Honorary Consul of France in Austin, some Austin‐based business leaders, and a group of French, American, and Francophone parents to meet the demands of a growing international and globally‐minded population in Austin.
AIS became the third French‐American school established in Texas and the 43rd in the United States. In its first year, AIS enrolled 65 pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and elementary students, with a student body that included French, American, and other nationalities.
