The Westchester Academy for International Studies (WAIS) Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is dedicated to enriching the campus lives of our students. From social events to classroom assistance, the members of the WAIS PTA are concerned parents and teachers who volunteer their time and energy to make Westchester Academy a better place.

Westchester Academy for International Studies is an International Baccalaureate (IB) school in the Spring Branch Independent School District serving middle school and high school kids grades 6-12. WAIS is one of twelve IB schools in Houston, Texas and the only IB school in SBISD. The Westchester Academy PTA is a proud member of both the National PTA and Texas PTA organizations.
