We are an innovative, University-level academy on its campus for highly gifted and motivated high school juniors and seniors focusing on STEM.
Enabled by legislation authored by State Senator Judith Zaffirini and approved by the 79th Texas Legislature in 2005, The Texas Academy of International and STEM Studies provides academically motivated high school juniors and seniors with a challenging University-level curriculum.
Upon completion of the their two years in the Academy, students will have earned their high school diploma concurrently with college credits toward a bachelor’s degree and will be in their junior year of University.
The mission of the Texas Academy of International Studies is to offer an innovative and accelerated curriculum for motivated Texas high school students. These students will be able to excel in areas of mathematics, science, technology, engineering and international studies.
The Academy seeks to encourage students to develop the creativity, curiosity, reasoning ability, and self-discipline that lead to independent thought and action, and to aid students in developing integrity that will enable them to benefit society.
