Moving to Houston
 

Hi ,

I am moving to Hoston with a 16 year old currently studying for GCSE and wanting to do A levels or IB next year.

I know the British School is an option - would anyone know whether there are any others? Any help gratefully received as schools will dictate where we eventually live - my work being close to IAH

Any help and feedback gladly appreciated.

Best regards

Lamar High School in River Oaks is an IB school - it's also a public school. Commute to IAH wouldn't be bad, you would be against traffic - it is a relatively expensive area to live in though.

Hi there
Just popping in to say hello as I live in Houston (well a bit further west in Katy actually) so thought I'd say hi.
Lots of us on here that are Houston residence and we'll all be happy to help. Welcome!
