Overview

Founded in 1956, The Awty International School is a private, coeducational, college preparatory day school enrolling 1100 students in Preschool through Grade 12. In addition to providing a strong basis in traditional academic subjects, The Awty International School strives to instill in its students an awareness of and appreciation for the diversity among nations.
