WINTER 2005

From the Head of School:Dr. David Watson

Welcome to the Winter 2005edition of Accent Magazine. Onbehalf of all here at Awty, let metake this opportunity of wishing allour readers a belated Happy NewYear.

Good schools are places wheregood teaching and learning takeplace on a daily basis in a friendlyatmosphere of respect, challengeand achievement. At all levels andin all aspects of our work inschool, I see signs that Awty isgenuinely making a difference inthe lives of our children and ourfamilies. For parents, fromwhichever corner of the world theymay hail, there is no substitute fortotal confidence in the profession-alism and skill of your child'steachers. This is something westrive for at this school and judgingfrom the growing lists of familieswho are making Awty their schoolof choice, it seems we are makingprogress towards achieving thisgoal we have set for ourselves.

Students Lead Tsunami Relief Effort!

In response to the tsunami devastation,the students at The Awty International Schooljoined together and designated January 10-14as Tsunami Relief Week. The students wentabove and beyond all expectations, raisingnearly $8,000 for the relief effort.

Alejandro Cubria, a senior and StudentCouncil President at Awty, along with mem-bers of the student council, led the effort andasked each student at Awty to participate bymaking a small cash donation. They placeddonation boxes on campus and toured class-rooms throughout the week to secure theirgoal of 100% participation from the studentbody.

As the second largest internationalschool in the United States, The AwtyInternational School student council feltstrongly about supporting the relief effort.Many of the students at Awty have either vis-ited or studied in the affected countries, orhave relatives or friends who are living in theregion. The student council members wereamazed at the reaction of the student body.

"Knowing that community service andinternational understanding is at the heart ofAwty's mission, and seeing such a tragedy, itwas only fitting for us to help the victims,"stated Alejandro Cubria. "The reaction to thiseffort was far better than expected. It wasoverwhelming."

As pledged, Mr. Anthony P. Banham,School Board of Trustees Chairman, matchedevery dollar raised by the students, up to$5,000. This brought the total amount raisedfor the relief effort to nearly $13,000.

"I am so proud of the students and theirefforts to help with the devastation in SouthAsia," said Anthony Banham. "This typifiesthe international cultural consciousness that isan essential part of the Awty community."

Finally, Awty's Interact Club donated$500 to the relief effort.

A check for $17,133.96 was presented toUNICEF to help aid in the relief efforts inSouth Asia on Monday, January 24.

(Note: A small portion of funds raised wasalso collected by the students through the "Trick orTreat for UNICEF" program last fall.)

Du Directeur de l’Ecole : Dr David Watson

Bienvenue à l'édition d'hiver 2005 d'Accent Magazine. Au nom

de tous ici à Awty, je profite de cette occasion pour souhaiter à tous

nos lecteurs une bonne et heureuse année.

Les bonnes écoles sont celles qui dispensent un enseignement

de qualité où l'apprentissage se déroule dans une atmosphère con-

viviale, stimulante, de respect, et de travail. Je constate qu'à tous les

niveaux et dans tous les domaines scolaires, l'Ecole s'efforce de faire

une distinction entre la vie de nos enfants et celle des parents. Pour

vous parents, quel que soit le pays d'où vous venez, la confiance

totale que vous avez dans le professionalisme et la compétence des

enseignants est primordiale. Nous faisons tout pour vous satisfaire

dans ce domaine et il semblerait que nous soyons sur la bonne voie

à en juger par le nombre croissant des familles qui choisissent Awty

pour école.

Les récents événements tragiques de l'Asie du Sud nous rap-

pellent que nous sommes fragiles et interdépendants. Les élèves

d'Awty ont réagi très vite face à cette situation critique par leur

action généreuse. Tout comme les crises amènent des opportunités

et qu'après la pluie vient le beau temps, l'enfant lui aussi retrouvera

son sourire.

Les écoles internationales qui prônent la diversité humaine s'as-

surent que toute action, tout symbole et tout échange impliquent les

enseignants, les administrateurs, les élèves et les parents; nous

sommes convaincus que la diversité culturelle nous enrichit et nous

stimule. Ajoutez ce concept à la vision qu'avait Mme Awty d'une

école humaine où chaque enfant pourrait se réaliser pleinement dans

un climat de confiance et d'encouragement, et vous comprendrez

The recent tragic events in South Asia remindus all of our fragility and essential interdepend-ence. Students at Awty were quick to respond tothe crisis and showed a level of practical engage-ment which was both heart-warming and helpful inits sincerity and depth. With crisis, comes opportu-nity; after the rain, a few rays of sunshine and achild's smile.

International schools celebrate the diversity ofthe human condition and ensure that every act,every symbol, every exchange involving teachers,administrators, students and parents reinforces thebelief that, in the end, human diversity is anenrichment and a source of strength. Couple thistogether with Mrs. Awty's vision of a compassion-ate school where every child might achieve his orher full potential in an environment of trust andencouragement, and you have captured somethingof the reason why our school remains so attractiveto so many families.

In 2006, The Awty International School cele-brates its 50th birthday! Mrs. Awty opened the

doors to her small pre-school for the firsttime on September 10, 1956. The entireschool community will be involved in thefestivities which will take place during thefirst term of school year 2006-2007. Lookout for more details on the school's websiteat www.awty.org.

As the second largest internationalschool in the United States, Awty is plan-ning for a bright and successful future forall our students, here in Houston. The staff,students and I extend an invitation to you tovisit our school and look forward to meet-ing and chatting with you sometime soon.

“A Letter from the Proviseur”

Dear Parents, Students, and Readers, For six months now I have had the

honor and the privilege of directing theBilingual French Section at AwtyInternational School.

Centrally located off the West Loop inHouston, Awty International School offers acomplete academic curriculum based onbilingualism, from Preschool through the12th grade.

A result of the fusion of a Texanschool, offering the InternationalBaccalaureate Program of Geneva, and anofficial French school, under the Ministryof Education and affiliated with the MissionLaïque Française, offering the FrenchBaccalaureate, Awty is currently composedof 1145 students; 448 of whom are in theFrench Bilingual Section.

Faithful to the values of the MissionLaïque Française, "2 cultures, 3 languages",the Bilingual French Section of AwtyInternational School has appointed itself thefollowing several missions:

- Guarantee families, notably Frenchexpatriate families, a school that adheres tothe official directives of the FrenchNational Ministry of Education. Thus itsstudents are thereafter able to pursue theirstudies in France or in any French schoolworldwide.

- Take full advantage of the uniquequalities of the school by providing studentswith the opportunity to become bilingual,offering up to 7 hours of English per week.For example, in Preschool, teaching isadministered equally: one day in French,one day in English. In the Upper School,students may elect to follow theInternational Option of the Baccalaureate(courses in History, Geography andLiterature are taught in English).

- Maintain the excellent standards ofthe school with regard to test scores(National Brevet Diploma for MiddleSchool, Baccalaureate results).

- Promote French Language andCulture among the local community andwithin the student body at AwtyInternational School.

The Mission of Awty far and awayexceeds that of a simple language school.Awty welcomes students from every cornerof the Earth (over fifty different nationali-

“Le mot duProviseur”

Chers parents, chersélèves, cherslecteurs,

Voilà 6 mois que j'ai le grandprivilège et l'honneur de diriger laSection Bilingue Française d'AwtyInternational School.

Très bien située à la périphérieouest de Houston, Awty InternationalSchool propose depuis la petite sec-tion jusqu'à la classe de terminale uncursus scolaire complet axé sur lebilinguisme.

Résultat de la fusion d'une écoletexane proposant à ses élèves leBaccalauréat international de Genèveet d'un établissement scolaire, homo-logué par le ministère français del'Education nationale et dépendant dela Mission laïque française, proposantà ses élèves le Baccalauréat français,Awty accueille 1145 élèves dont 448pour la Section bilingue française.

Porteuse des valeurs de laMission laïque française, " 2 cultures,3 langues ", la Section françaisebilingue d'Awty International Schools'est fixée plusieurs missions :

- Garantir aux familles, notam-ment aux expatriés français, une sco-larité en conformité avec les instruc-tions officielles du ministère françaisde l'Education nationale. Ainsi sesélèves peuvent poursuivre leurs étudesen France ou dans n'importe quelleécole française.

- Tirer profit au maximum de laspécificité de l'école, en offrant la pos-sibilité aux élèves de devenir bilingueen leur assurant jusqu'à 7 heures

d'anglais par semaine. Par exemple, enmaternelle, l'enseignement se fait àparité : 1 journée en français, 1journée en anglais. Au lycée, lesélèves peuvent suivre l'Option interna-tionale du baccalauréat (enseignementde l'histoire, de la géographie et de lalittérature en anglais).

- Maintenir l'excellence de sesrésultats scolaires (diplôme national dubrevet des collèges, baccalauréat)

- Promouvoir la langue françaiseet sa culture auprès du public local etdes autres élèves d'Awty InternationalSchool.

Le projet scolaire d'Awty dépasselargement celui d'une simple école delangue. Awty accueille des élèvesprovenant de tout horizon géo-graphique (plus d'une cinquantaine denationalités différentes). L'école est unlieu social où des valeurs telles que lecivisme, le respect, la fraternité, latolérance et l'intégration se pratiquentau quotidien et fondent son projet sco-laire. De nombreuses activités (coursen commun, classes vertes, sortiespédagogiques, clubs ou événements dela vie sociale) permettent aux élèvesd'intégrer des groupes où se mêlent lesélèves français, francophones, améri-cains ou étrangers.

Awty International School est uneécole d'excellence. En témoignent sesrésultats au baccalauréat (100% deréussite et 80% de mentions) et les ori-entations post-bac de ses élèves(grandes écoles, universités pres-tigieuses). Les élèves sont peu nom-breux par classe et bénéficient ainsid'un suivi individualisé.

Quoi de neuf depuis le début decette année scolaire?

Une rentrée en Août à l'image desrentrées des année précédentes: denouveaux professeurs ont rejointl'équipe (Mmes Guidon, Meier etSrour), des nombreux élèves venantd'horizons divers sont arrivés, de nou-veaux laboratoires de sciences ont étémis à leur disposition.

En septembre, ce furent les tradi-tionnels voyages d'automne… Qui ontété encore une fois encore, de grandsmoments pour nos élèves.. Les 4ièmesse préparant sur notre terrain de foot àcette grande aventure que va être levoyage à Big Bend; les 6ième visitantFort Alamo; les 5ième à Austin pourexplorer la capital politique du Texas… et les Terminales descendant leBuffalo Bayou. Là il faut que je m'ar-rête un peu, car ça été un moment debravoure pour nombre de nos seniors,accompagnés de leurs professeurs, duDirecteur d'Awty et du Proviseur.Aussi étonnant que cela puisseparaître, le Buffalo Bayou (entreWoodway et Allan ParkwayLanding) fait plus penser àune rivière de Bornéo ou duViet-nam…un monde étrangede verdure, de senteurs, debruits, serpentant aux piedsdes immeubles d'Uptown.Tracer son chemin sur cettevoie d'eau a été une expéri-ence intéressante, parfois dif-ficile pour certaines de nosélèves qui ont du prendre surelles pour poursuive leurroute dans ce milieu si dif-férent de Galleria ou duMémorial City Mall.

Octobre, Novembre,Décembre ont vu une succes-

sion de festivités: les citrouillesd'Halloween chassées par les dindesde Thanksgiving, elles même dégagéespar Frosty le bonhomme de Neige etRudolf le renne au nez rouge, le toutsous la surveillance des Rois-magesqui attendent leurs galettes sous le brasque Janvier arrive.

Chacun de ces moments sontcommémorés dans notre école, par unspectacle ou un moment de partage: leFall Fun festival, le repas deThanksgiving, l'allumage du sapin deNoël… des moments qui rassemblentun communauté scolaire et qui faitqu'Awty International School est siparticulière.

Janvier est le mois du Bac Blancpour les élèves de terminale et de pre-mières et du Brevet Blanc pour ceuxde 3ième. C'est une bonne occasion defaire le point sur le travail accomplidepuis le début de l'année.

ties). The school is a social entity whereinvalues such as civic duty, respect, toleranceand integration are practiced on a dailybasis and form the very basis of its mission.Numerous activities (classes in common,recreational activities and sports, field trips,school events) give students the opportunityto become a part of a group in whichFrench, French-speaking, American andother foreign nationals are mixed.

Awty International School is a schoolof excellence. Its Baccalaureate resultsspeak for themselves (100% success, 80%with honors), as does the list of its students'Post-Baccalaureate institutions of learning(elite and prestigious universities, 'grandesécoles'). Class sizes are small, thus studentsbenefit from individualized and attentiveinstruction.

What's been going on since the start ofthis school year?

Back-to-School in August just as inpreceding years: new teachers joining theteam (Ms. Gidon, Ms. Meier and Ms.Srour), students from many different hori-zons joining the student body, and new sci-ence laboratories being made available forthe benefit of all.

In September, there were the traditionalFall Trips…which were once again a greatexperience for the students… The 8th gradedid a dry-run on the soccer field for thegreat camping adventure that is their Big

Bend trip; the 6th grade visited theAlamo; the 7th grade went to Austin todiscover the political capital of Texas…and the 12th grade went down Buffalo

Bayou. Here I must pause, for this was a moment ofcourage for many of our Seniors, along with their teachers,the Head of School and their Proviseur. As amazing as thismay seem, Buffalo Bayou (between Woodway and AllenParkway Landing) rather calls to mind a river in Borneo orVietnam… a strange world of greenery, scents, and soundsthat snakes around the heels of Uptown's great buildings.To follow its path, along this water-trail, was quite an inter-esting experience - at times a difficult one for certainfemale students who had to take it upon themselves to nav-igate this byway so different from the Galleria or MemorialCity Mall.

October, November, and December saw a successionof festivities: the pumpkins of Halloween chased by theThanksgiving turkeys, who themselves were banished byFrosty the Snowman and Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer,all under the watchful eyes of the Three Wise Men, await-ing the King's cake that would arrive under January's arm.

Each of these moments is commemorated at ourschool, through performances or occasions to share: the

Fall Fun Festival, the Thanksgiving Meal, the HolidayTree-lighting Ceremony. These are moments that bring anentire school community together…moments that makeAwty the unique, special place it is.

January is the month of the Practice Baccalaureate forstudents in 12th grade and the Practice Brevet for those in9th. It's the perfect time to take stock of all that we haveaccomplished since the beginning of the year.

On September 21, 2004 the French-American Chamberof Commerce presented a $5,000 scholarship to the AwtyInternational School. Ms. Marie Le Pichon is this year’sFACC scholar.

Marie is 17 and is studying in Terminale or 12th gradeof the French Bilingual Section of the Awty School. Hersiblings Sarah, 13, and Thomas, 10, are also attending theFrench section of the school.

In 1995, the FACC voted to award a scholarship to helpdeserving students continue their education in Texas. Thecriteria for eligibility are among others, that the recipientshould be a full-time student of Awty School, of Frenchnationality and preparing the French Baccalaureate or thefull International Baccalaureate. Moreover the student, bothin attitude and accomplishments, must be a merit to theschool.

Marie is involved in many activities at school: she par-ticipates in the Awty Singers during lunch break and theMadrigal (select choir) after school. She is also a memberof the Texas Private School Music Education Association.She says, 'I have a passion for art which has driven me towork with teachers from Awty to further develop my artisticabilities as well as help me with my portfolio that I willsubmit with my college application. I spend four hours aweek practicing Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art, and I justjoined Red Cross'.

About her future, she says, 'My long term college plansare to get a BS and MS in Game Art and Design. I amapplying to Art Institute of California in Los Angeles,

Parsons in Paris, Savannah College of Art and Design andthe Art School of Florence. I want to specialize in Game Artand Design because it combines art and technology, two ofmy interests. It is a fairly recent major, specific to only ahandful of colleges.'

The FACC wishes good luck to Marie in all herendeavors and to start with, 'bonne chance pour le bac'.

The first scholarship was granted in 1996 and sincethen, seven students have received a financial support fromthe FACC. Every scholarship is made possible by the fundsraised during the annual Beaujolais Festival.

A Golden Opportunity: 2004-22005 Annual Giving CampaignDear Awty Parent,

I am writing to invite you to donateto the school and help us attract othermajor donations from foundations.You’ll be showing your children you areproud of them, and of their school.

As Awty receives no governmentfunding, we rely heavily on alternate

sources including corporate, foundation and individualdonations (that’s you!). It gives us a great advantage insecuring corporate and foundation support if we can showthat our families are supporting the school in a given year.Any and all gifts, no matter the amount, count toward thisgoal. You may choose to give at a level which entitles you

to a charm, or at a different level. You will still be helpingus make a grand statement.

As you know, Awty is dedicated to promoting in its stu-dents a system of values based on community service andinternational understanding. Your philanthropic supportallows the School to offer students a unique, innovative andchallenging education and sound preparation for higher edu-cation in the United States or abroad. No matter their coun-try or origin, the Awty family strives to provide its studentsa piece of home right here in Houston.

Camp Spike 'n' Wave

The first thing that hits youwhen you arrive at Camp ForAll, the location of CampSpike 'n' Wave, is the incredi-ble sense of belonging. Thecamp seems to rise up out ofnowhere, like an oasis in themiddle of a desert. It is aspecial place; a place whereeveryone is accepted, andhaving a disability is anadvantage. I say thisbecause all the campersare bound together bytheir disability, whatever

it may be. Race, creed,color, financial standing - none of these things

matter, all that matters is that the campers are together andthat, for one week, they will be able to forget their troublesand just have fun. I spent one incredible week with thesekids, and I walked away with enough memories to last tenlifetimes.

I was a counselor for Camp Spike 'n' Wave, a camp forchildren with epilepsy. Before you ask, I do not haveepilepsy. As a counselor, having epilepsy was not requiredof me (although some counselors are former campers). Myjob was to have fun with the kids, and to make sure thatthey had the most incredible experience of their lives in thesafest possible way. I was neither paid for my services, norforced to give them. Did I have an ulterior motive? Sure, Ihad service hours to fill. But this is beside the point. Thereare many ways to serve your community. I chose CampSpike 'n' Wave because it truly is a once-in-a-lifetime expe-rience.

Many prospective counselors are put off by the idea ofspending a week of their summer looking after kids. I

know: it's babysitting without the perks of cable TV andgood wages. However, these are not your typical kids. Ofcourse the camp is no cakewalk. Epilepsy is not necessarilydifficult to handle, but many campers have other problems,ranging from ADD to mental retardation. It is a challengeto look after these campers for a week, but it is also a priv-iledge. Knowing that you are providing these campers withopportunities that they would rarely otherwise have is anunbelievably great feeling.

Activities include archery, horseback riding, swimming,biking, dancing, nature, and barnyard studies, high and lowropes, canoeing and fishing. Camp Spike 'n' Wave offersthe full spectrum of activities to cater to any taste. Just tobe clear, the counselors are able to partake in these activitiesas well, and you'll often end up having as much fun as yourkids. However, the real fun, believe it or not, comes fromthe immense responsibility counselors carry. These kidslook up to their counselors. They envy them, they emulatethem, and they strive to impress them. When a counseloruses this to his or her advantage, they can make a camperaccomplish anything. I had campers who were terrified ofanything from bike riding, to barnyard animals, to canoeing.Lead by example. The camper thinks, "Hey, if they can doit, then I can do it too!" Actually, the inverse is truer.Watching a camper conquer his fear of heights to experi-ence the rush of the zip-line, the counselor thinks, "Hey ifhe can do that, imagine what I can do."

Nothing compares to the experience of Camp Spike 'n'Wave. I gave up a week of my summer so that I couldspend it in the company of some of the finest people Iknow. Like I said at the start, I have many memories. Iremember Tom, Colin, Erik, Cody, and Jay. They are fiveyoung men who proved that, when faced with adversity,humans can and will achieve anything.

On behalf of the Association ofParents and Personnel of The AwtyInternational School, I would like tosend you my warmest wishes for theNew Year. I hope that 2005 willbring you all the best, peace, love,and prosperity. As we begin this

new year, we reflect on the past and plan for thefuture.

The APPA History is so closely linked with AwtySchool History that one cannot be revisited without dis-cussing the other.

The Parents Association of Awty began with the found-ing of the school in 1956 by Mrs. Kathleen Awty. At theopening there were fewer than 30 students in the Pre-school,with a monthly tuition of eighteen dollars and seventy-fivecents. During this time the parents, both European andTexan, were working hard for the common good of theschool. From the beginning there was a blending of influ-ences which uniquely shaped the school.

By 1969, the parents' organization had a long traditionof service and fundraising for the school. In 1970, theMiddle School was added, followed by the Upper School in1973. During all of these years the parents' participationenriched the life of the school with their supportive work.By the end of the seventies, Mrs. Awty merged her schoolwith the French School of Houston. With this blending, theparents group added a vital, extra dimension to the school.

By 1980, the parents' organization was renamed theAwty Parents and Personnel Association (APPA). With aneye toward the legacy of parental involvement at Awty, weforge the onging history as families continue to enrich theschool with their involvement, and the APPA tradition ofschool support evolves.

Future plans are to work with the school to improve ourwebsite, as we strive to reach all of the school community.We want to hear from you. We will continue to raise funds

to assist the school with its wish list.Last year in 2003 we partially funded the new patio, so

loved by the students for study, lunch, or meeting friends.Additionally we helped to fund the new fencing of the soc-cer field. Over the past years, the APPA has donated thou-sands of books to the school's three libraries, along withtens of thousands of volunteer hours offered by our tirelessmembers. Some events hosted by the APPA include theWelcoming Coffees, Pot Luck Supper, Holiday Market,International Festival, Bookfair, Teacher In-ServiceLuncheon, and Teacher Appreciation Breakfast. The APPAorganizes the room parents and thanks them for year-roundclass support.

We appreciate all of you for helping us to continue thetradition of supporting the school through our volunteeractivities, whether in the classroom or fund raising capacity.

The APPA is not a melting pot, but rather a diverse stewwhere we share friendship, language and culture, fromwhich all of us are enriched. The role of the APPA contin-ues to expand and diversify, just as our membership. Wethank you for your continued support.

- Brigitte FornageAPPA President

lleetttteerr ffrroomm tthheecchhaaiirrmmaannDear Parents and Friends of The Awty International School,

am very pleased to report that the school has had another successful year. In allareas of school operation, time and talent, resources and funds have been translatedinto action and accomplishment in a variety of different ways by all members of theAwty community, from parents, students and teachers, through the members of theadministration, volunteers and the Board of Trustees.

Enrolment continued to grow steadily over the past year. Our graduating classof 72 students in June 2004 achieved outstanding results. The IB pass rate at Awtywas 96% compared to a North American average of 78% and 81% worldwide. Awty'sFrench Baccalaureat pass rate was 100%, with 81% Assez Bien or better. Like you,I am proud to pay tribute to the teachers whose dedication and diligence across allgrade levels of the school have made possible these and other accomplishmentsthroughout the past year.

Many of the physical changes which have taken place on the campus offer tan-gible evidence of the investments which the Board is making in the future of theschool. The new Lower School building opened officially in October 2003; in sum-

mer 2004, two new science laboratories were added in the Middle and Upper School, a newtheater area was completed as was the new Courtyard area. The school also was able topurchase eight acres of land a few hundred yards north of thepresent campus, which we intend to use, in the short term,for much needed parking but which, longer term and, subjectto funding, will provide us with a full sports field and anoth-er access point to North Post Oak Lane.

Moreover, subsequent to the end of the school year2003-2004, we were able to substantially strengthen ourDevelopment (now renamed Advancement Department)with a Director of Advancement and additional staff. Thiswill be key to the success of our future fundraising activi-ties.

This Annual Report 2003-2004 is a testament to thegenerosity of the many donors who have made gifts toour Annual Fund as well as various unrestricted gifts tothe school and have participated in the Gala. Thesegifts have allowed us to limit the increases in tuitionover the past few years and keep the costs of attendingThe Awty International School among the most reasonable in the city ofHouston.

By giving to The Awty International School, you are making sound investments in thefuture of your child and of this school. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I wish to thankall the school's constituents for their support over the past year and look forward to yourcontinued commitment over the coming years of growth and success here at Awty.

Yours sincerely,

Anthony BanhamChairman of the Board of Trustees

Chers Parents et Amis de l'Ecole Internationale Awty,

'ai le plaisir de vous annoncer que l'Ecole a connu une fois de plus une annéefructueuse. Tous les membres de la communauté Awty: élèves, enseignants, person-nel administratif et membres du Conseil d'Administration ont participé activement etde bien des façons à la vie de l'Ecole en offrant leur temps, leur créativité, leurs

ressources et leurs dons. Les effectifs ont augmenté l'année dernière et en juin dernier, 72 élèves de Terminale

ont obtenu des résultats exceptionnels. Le pourcentage de réussite au BI fut de 96% com-paré à la moyenne Nord-Américaine de 78% et 81% pour les écoles internationales à traversle monde. Le pourcentage de réussite au Baccalauréat français a été de 100%, avec 81%d'Assez Bien ou mieux. Je suis fier, tout comme vous, de rendre hommage aux enseignantsde tous niveaux qui, par leur dévouement et leur travail, ont contribué tout au long de l'an-née à ces résultats.

Les nombreux changements qui ont eu lieu sur le campus prouvent que le Conseild'Administration investit à fond pour l'avenir de l'Ecole. En octobre 2003, la nouvelle EcolePrimaire a officiellement ouvert ses portes; en été 2004, deux nouveaux laboratoires de sci-ences sont venus s'ajouter au Collège et au lycée ainsi qu'un nouveau théâtre et une nou-velle cour de récréation. L'Ecole a fait l'acquisition d'un terrain de huit acres situé à unecentaine de mètres au nord du campus; nous l'utiliserons comme parking à court termemais il deviendra, selon les capitaux, un terrain de sport avec un accès sur North Post OakLane.

Par ailleurs, à la fin de l'année scolaire 2003-2004, nous avons renforcé notre équipe duDéveloppement (rebaptisé Département des relations publiques et de Développement) enrecrutant une directrice pour les relations publiques et le développement et d autres mem-bres du personnel. Ces changements sont essentiels pour le bon déroulement et le succèsdes collectes de fonds à venir.

Le rapport Annuel 2003-2004 est le témoignage de la générosité de nombreux donateursqui ont contribué au fonds annuel, offert des dons illimités à l'Ecole et participé au Gala.Tous ces dons nous ont permis de limiter les majorations des frais d'inscription au fil desannées et faire en sorte que les cotisations pour l'éducation à l'Ecole Internationale Awtysoient parmi les plus abordables des écoles de Houston.

En donnant à l'Ecole Internationale Awty, vous contribuez aussi à l'avenir de vosenfants et de cette école. Au nom du Conseil d'Administration, je remercie tous les mem-bres de l'Ecole pour avoir apporté l'année dernière leur soutien à Awty et je me réjouis àl'avance de votre participation future au développement et au succès d'Awty.

Très cordialement,

Anthony BanhamPrésident du Conseil de l'Administration

mmeessssaaggee ffrroomm tthheehheeaadd ooff sscchhoooollhrough the years here at The Awty International School, students, parents, alumni,teachers and friends have worked together to make a difference in the education ofAwty students. With their support, Awty has become a diverse, academically challeng-

ing school which prepares students for success in an increasingly complex and rapidlychanging world.

2003-2004 saw the school make considerable strides in terms of our physicalsurroundings. The new Lower School building opened in October 2003 as did thenew Senior Lounge. Since then the school has built a new staff room and has con-verted three former classrooms into two new Science laboratories over summer2004 to create a six-laboratory Science wing in the Middle and Upper Schools.

The new Courtyard in the Middle and Upper School area, which opened insummer 2004, has provided students with a refreshment/seating area for breaktimes. Our new Theatre-in-the-Round at the back of the Performing Arts andAthletic Center had its successful inaugural production, Moliere's Tartuffe, inNovember 2004.

After many years of playing soccer in the half light of the Texan winter, new flood-lights on the soccer field, jointly funded by the Booster Club and the school, were turned onin January 2005.

Our enrollment continues to indicate a healthy and increasing interest locally andinternationally in this school. From 970 students in summer 2000, we have grown steadilyto our current level of 1150 students from 52 nationalities.

As we plan for the future, (Awty will celebrate its Golden Jubilee in 2006), we are mind-ful of the past and the progress that has been made with the help of supporters of theschool up until now. As a non-profit school, The AwtyInternational School relies heavily upon the tuition and feeswe receive from parents to maintain the high quality of educa-tion we offer our students everyday. However tuition and feesonly cover about 80% of the actual costs of educating yourchild at Awty.

We need the support of parents, alumni and corporationsto continue to bridge "the excellence gap" between what wereceive in revenue and our total operational costs. Byincreasing contributions to the school's endowment, we canin time become less dependent upon tuition income. Thismust eventually be our goal over the long term and welook to our parents and friends for support and help inachieving this objective for our children at Awty.

In this Annual Report, I am therefore delighted tooffer my sincere thanks to all those parents and friendswho have contributed most generously to the school overthe past year, and who by doing so have helped to provide financial aid toqualifying students and helped to keep academic standards high and tuition rises to aminimum.

Thank you, from all of us at Awty, for your continued commitment to the ideals and tothe future of this remarkable school.

Dr. David WatsonHead of School

“Thank you, from allof us at Awty, foryour continued commitment to theideals and to thefuture of this remarkable school.”

l'Ecole Internationale Awty, les élèves, parents, anciens élèves, enseignants et amisont travaillé de concert au fil des années pour offrir aux élèves d'Awty une éducationexceptionnelle. Awty est, grâce à leur soutien , une école dynamique où règne la

diversité, elle prépare les élèves à réussir dans un monde en perpétuel changement et deplus en plus complexe.

En 2003-2004 l'Ecole a fait des progrès considérables sur le plan de l'environnement.La nouvelle Ecole Primaire a ouvert ses portes en octobre 2003 et le salon des élèves deTerminale ( Senior Lounge) aussi. Depuis lors, l'Ecole a fait construire une nouvelle salledu personnel et a converti trois salles de classe en deux nouveaux laboratoires de sciencesau cours de l'été 2004, créant ainsi une aile comprenant six laboratoires de sciences pourles Collège et Lycée.

La nouvelle cour des Collège et Lycée, aménagée en été 2004, est une aire de récréationoù les élèves peuvent déjeuner et se retrouver entre les classes. La mise en scène inaugu-rale et réussie de Tartuffe de Molière a eu lieu en novembre 2004 dans notre nouveauthéâtre circulaire à l'arrière de l'actuelle Salle des Sports et Spectacles (PAAC) .

Pendant plusieurs années, nous avons joué au football à la lueur de l'hiver Texan, maisdepuis janvier 2005 de nouveaux projecteurs, financés par le Booster Club et l'Ecole,éclairent le terrain de sports.

Nos inscriptions indiquent que l'intérêt porté à notre Ecole sur le plan international etlocal augmente sans cesse: nous sommes passés de 970 élèves en été 2000 à 1150 élèves àce jour et 52 nationalités sont représentées.

Awty célèbrera son Jubilé d'Or en 2006, mais n'oublions pas pour autant le passé car ceprogrès, qui a été réalisé jusqu'alors, n'a été possible que grâce à l'aide des supporters del'Ecole. Etant une école à but non lucratif, l'Ecole Internationale Awty table entièrementsur les frais de scolarité et les cotisations des parents qui contribuent à l'excellence de notreéducation pour nos élèves. Les frais de scolarité et les cotisations ne couvrent cependantque 80% des frais actuels d'éducation à Awty.

Nous avons besoin de l'aide des anciens élèves et des entreprises si nous voulonscombler l'écart entre ce que nous recevons en revenus et les frais de fonctionnement. Encoopérant davantage au fonds d'investissement, nous serons moins dépendants du revenuprovenant des frais de scolarité. Cela sera notre objectif à long terme; nous espérons queparents et amis nous aideront à atteindre cet objectif pour le bien de nos enfants à Awty.

J'ai donc le plaisir d'offrir, dans ce rapport annuel, mes remerciements sincères à tousles parents et amis qui ont généreusement apporté l'année dernière leur contribution àl'Ecole, ce qui nous a permis d'obtenir une aide financière pour les élèves méritants, demaintenir une éducation de qualité tout en gardant une majoration minimale des frais descolarité. Un grand merci de nous tous pour votre fidélité à l'égard des projets de notre Ecole siremarquable.

Dr. David Watson
