AHB Community School offers a progressive approach to learning that is focused on cultivating creativity, authenticity and joy.
At this “micro-school,” located in Austin’s Hyde Park neighborhood, students learn in mixed-age classrooms with a student-to-teacher ratio of 11-to-1. The school’s shortened week—three days for kindergarten and first graders, and four days for second through eighth graders—allows students the flexibility and time to have rich and engaged home lives or pursue outside passions. Sixth through eighth grade students have the option to add Fridays to work on community service initiatives, personal projects or prepare for high school admission.
At AHB, curriculum is thematic and interdisciplinary. Students take a deep dive into a topic and examine it from many angles. They tackle hands-on, collaborative projects and display their work in creative portfolios.
The word “community” is as important as the word “school” in AHB Community School’s name. Caregivers help the school thrive by volunteering to assist in the classroom, fundraising, organizing annual events and leading after-school enrichment activities such as art, dance, yoga and more.
A unique philosophy and a close-knit, dynamic community make AHB Community School an exceptional choice for kindergarten through eighth grade education in Hyde Park.

AHB has been nothing short of phenomenal. The project-based learning curriculum is wonderful; my son genuinely loves to learn and is excited to go to school every day. He even gets upset if he has to miss a day! We deeply appreciate how the teachers value him for who he is. It's a supportive and eng...

This little school is a haven for my middle schoolers. It is offering them a safe, engaged community during the tumultuous preteen years. The structure enables them to build curiosity and self confidence because they have so much autonomy over their learning. They have the ability to decide for them...

Warning! As a former teacher of 10 yrs and a parent of a student who attended this school I'm very concerned. Because when students in the youngest classrooms are attacked or bullied, the administration does not apply discipline, or act competently, to make the school safe.

My experience with AHB started 7 years ago when I first toured with my daughter. Unfortunately while AHB felt like a great fit, the shorter school week was not going to fit with our work schedules.
