Already In Awty Classrooms

In Grade 1, teachers Muhammad Ahmed and Deborah Drummer build lessons around "provocations," set up to spark student questions. "Curiosity is the cornerstone of my teaching philosophy," M. Ahmed says. Ms. Drummer's students call their room "curious, creative, and fun." The Learner Portrait shows where that curiosity goes by Grade 12. From "First Grade Teachers Embed Curiosity in Learning," Awty Insider, May 2025.

The Awty Difference

Awty Students Learn To See The World From Somewhere Else

On most competencies, Awty students look like students at strong Houston-area schools. On Perspective-Taking, they pull away, and the gap widens every year they are here. Switch competencies to compare.

Spring score out of 800 by grade. Shaded band: the middle half of Houston-area students in the same grades, answering the same prompts.

+81Awty growth in Perspective-Taking, fall to spring. The Houston-area benchmark grew +34.
+94Grade 12 Awty students above the middle of the Houston-area band, 688 to 594.
51%of Awty students, 563 of 1,103, reached Advanced or Exemplary in Perspective-Taking by spring.

Students from over 50 countries, speaking over 40 languages, in one community. Now Awty can show what that does for every student: it is the measure that sets Awty apart.Countries and languages as published at awty.org/about.

Admissions And Enrollment

A tour line no other Houston school can say: "Our students grow in perspective-taking faster than students across the region, and here is the evidence, in their words."

The Tuition Conversation

Families compare test scores and college lists. This is the thing they cannot get elsewhere, shown by grade, so a Grade 4 parent sees where their student is headed.

The Board

En Français Aussi

Heard In French, Scored The Same

Awty students live in two languages, so the Learner Portrait does too. A student can answer in French and be read against the same rubric, on the same 800-point scale, as a student answering in English. The translation is there for the advisor or parent reading it. Hover a highlighted phrase to see it in both languages.

Version Française track · Upper School
Same RubricOne set of rubric levels, whatever language the student answers in. A Grade 10 answer in French and one in English land on the same scale.
English, Français, EspañolIMPACTER already reads student answers in Spanish for partner districts. Awty's French and English students are measured the same way.
Their Language, Their WordsStudents answer in the language they think in. Nothing is lost to translation before it is scored.

The three French answers here are simulated, written for this sample to show how a French answer appears in the report. They are not real student speech.

In Their Own Words

What It Sounds Like When A Student Grows

Every score comes from something a student said or wrote. These are verbatim, shown by grade only. The highlighted words are what the rubric heard.

CommunityPerspective-Taking

Exemplary Perspective-Taking Sounds Like This

The student does not just notice that people disagree. They try to model what the other person is thinking.

Something that caught my eye is the amount of perspectives there can be in a situation, like one side could have a the other persons back because they saw what they saw, the same could be said for the opposite side. I tend to try to expand on how people think of a person and what could go through their brain whenever processing a situation.
