French Immersion Schools in Austin & San Antonio

This page lists every French immersion and French curriculum school in Austin and San Antonio, all of them private — each with its program type, tuition, enrollment and accreditation. It is one metro area of an independent directory covering 239 schools across 34 US states.

Dual language programs follow the American curriculum with the school day split between French and English; French curriculum schools follow the French national program and are accredited by the French Ministry of Education. The private schools charge from $14,000 to $24,000 a year, averaging about $18,000.

Austin has Austin International School and French School of Austin (École Jean-Jacques Rousseau); San Antonio, about 80 miles away, has International School of San Antonio. The two cities are separate markets rather than a shared metro area.

Austin International School serves the Austin tech community, which has grown significantly with the influx of tech companies and internationally mobile professionals. The school offers bilingual French-English education. International School of San Antonio (LabelFrancÉducation accredited) provides French curriculum education for the San Antonio area, serving a community that includes military families, USAA employees, and a significant French-speaking expat population.

Families in Central Texas seeking French-medium education should budget for private school tuition: neither city has a public French immersion program.

What AEFE homologation, LabelFrancÉducation, the American accreditors and the International Baccalaureate each certify is explained in the guide to accreditations and credentials. For younger children, the Austin & San Antonio daycare directory covers French daycares and preschools. You can also see every French school in Texas, or browse the full national directory.

We hope you will find this directory useful, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, comments or additional information on the schools listed here — or a school we are missing.
