Languages Other Than English (LOTE)

As elementary students move up through the dual language program, we will explore the options of incorporating DLI at the secondary level (i.e., Art class in Chinese, Theatre in Spanish, etc.).

DUAL CREDIT/COLLEGE PREP PROGRAM

ILTexas prepares students for exceptional leadership roles in the international community. As stated in our mission, ILTexas partners with the College Board (for Pre-AP and AP curriculum supplements and instructional strategies, Professional Development, etc.) to assist us in addressing the TEKS with relevant college-prep rigor and an emphasis on the Texas College and Career Readiness Standards.

Leadership training
Learn 14 qualities of leadership and supplement the 60 hours of community service required to enter university.
Participate in the leadership speaker series and listen to lectures by world leaders.

During the school year, all international F1 students at ILTexas have the option to live on-campus in the student apartments or to live off-campus with a host family. 

Student Apartments

Students are housed in apartment-style dormitories, complete with wifi, kitchen, dining room, living room, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms in each apartment unit.  Each bedroom houses two students for a total of six students in each apartment. Kitchens are outfitted with a refrigerator and microwave, but no oven or stove for safety reasons.  If students so desire, they may purchase their own counter-top burners, rice cookers, and/or electric kettles. The apartment complex is divided into boys’ and girls’ dormitory buildings. Male and female students are not allowed into apartments of the opposite sex but can convene in the Welcome Center. The Welcome Center is the main gathering area in the dorms. It is furnished with couches, big-screen TVs, a foosball table, a ping-pong table, a pool table, and board games for students to enjoy. Adjacent to the Welcome Center are the boys’ and girls’ laundry rooms. Washers and dryers are available for the students to use free of charge.

Our Director of International Students and Resident Advisors (RAs) live in the dorms and are there to assist the students with anything from schoolwork to a doctor’s visit.
