A great school– I'm a graduating student and I feel so proud to have gone to Magellan. Kind and inspiring people surround you and you begin to realize how lucky you are to be immersed in the wonderful program. We have IB curriculum which teaches children to keep a Global Mindset... and the Spanish Immersion Program is magical. My first year at Magellan had me speaking Spanish at a higher level than ever expected– after 8 years you can barely tell the difference in between native and myself (along with my classmates). If you are a parent and wondering if the school is right for you, I suggest you find some parents with experience at Magellan to get some feedback. I know for a fact that no school is perfect, and by getting reliable information from peers, you are increasing the chances of putting your child in the right school. Magellan is open to recruiting new students; they see an opportunity for growth in every child. Your child is never bored, or pushed too far. And you'll see they genuinely enjoy school– something rare these days. I hope this review can help you see what you can do for your child. I encourage new parents entirely to join the school. We are a growing community– a family, if you will– and your child could be the newest addition.

Magellan International School has a phenomenal program where kids are encouraged to be inquisitive and are taught critical thinking skills. They learn a keen sense of responsibility to themselves, each other, their families, and the community. The teachers are of the highest quality, and provide a culture that embraces each student with a warm and caring setting. Every time I visit Magellan, to read to our granddaughter’s class or volunteer for various activities, I am always impressed by how deeply the staff cares for each and every child. Our grandchildren are thriving in this wonderful environment. I have four children and I have never experienced a school where there is so much freedom to love learning. Magellan is a top notch world class school that benchmarks itself against the best international schools around the world – and we have it right here in Austin, Texas.
My son has been at this school for almost three years, since preschool. Aside from the dual language program, which was our initial interest, the way the school teaches our kids to think, care and be an active part of a local community and a bigger world view- has kept us here. The teachers have all been phenomenal, as has the administration. Our son has really excelled due to them all taking an active interest in his learning and growth as a little human. I highly recommend this school and look forward to his continued growth at Magellan!
Over the past five years I've watched this school go from a \good\ school to a \great\ school. I'm watching my daughter explore topics from all angles and understanding different cultures. She's not being \taught to the test\, she's learning to think for herself. She's had great teachers from all over the world, and interacts with fellow students from varying backgrounds every day. Despite being a private school, the student body is incredibly diverse. Many of the students are on scholarship. Younger students will be grade-level fluent in Spanish by the end of their first year.
We are in our second year at Magellan and cannot say enough great things about the school. Our daughters world view is already changing based on how she is being taught - to say we are pleased that only two years in this is happening would be an enormous understatement. The teachers are EXCEPTIONAL, warm, inviting and make me want to go back to school every day. Our son will start in the PP3 program in the Fall and we are thrilled that our children are learning in this diverse, open community. It is never too early or too late to enroll your kids in this awesome environment. We LOVE Magellan!
