Our Building: Aston International Academy is in an interesting building that was made in 1908. That means it is more than 100 years old, which we think is pretty cool! Inside you can find original hardwood floors, two separate stories, lots of windows, and two kitchens with fridges and microwaves where you can make your lunch. The building also has three fireplaces! The main classrooms have a lot of space, and each one is unique. We also have a large front porch, where you can sit and relax and enjoy Austin’s weather. Our building used to be a house, so it has a warm, welcoming feeling, and we are sure you are going to feel happy and at home – in our home!

Our Neighborhood: Aston International Academy is located in East Austin, less than one mile from downtown, and less than one mile from the 10-mile hike and bike trail at Lady Bird Lake. The neighborhood is one of the funkiest (cool and trendy) and most popular in Austin. You can find a lot of small shops, coffee shops, bakeries, food trucks and bars, and some of the best and most famous restaurants in Austin. There are plenty of bus routes and a metro train near AIA, so it is easy to explore. The area is busy and full of life, but if you have a car, parking is easy. We have a large parking lot behind our building, but if that gets full, street parking is free until 3pm.
