School Overview

International Leadership of Texas (ILTexas) in Garland is a tuition-free, public charter school that distinguishes itself through a unique, trilingual academic model. The school is dedicated to preparing students for leadership roles in a global society by requiring them to achieve proficiency in three languages: English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese. By integrating a rigorous curriculum with a strong emphasis on character development and servant leadership, the school aims to cultivate well-rounded students who are prepared to succeed in college and beyond.

The Garland campus is part of a larger network that emphasizes a "holistic" approach to education, combining core academic subjects with daily physical education and a disciplined environment. The school’s mission focuses heavily on fostering cultural awareness and global citizenship, ensuring that students not only excel academically but also develop the interpersonal skills necessary to navigate an interconnected world. Through its combination of trilingual instruction and leadership training, ILTexas provides a distinct alternative to traditional public schooling in the region.
