East Austin’s University of Texas Elementary School is no ordinary school. Here, young scholars learn to be and do their best alongside future educators and researchers. University of Texas students and faculty working in fields such as social work, therapy and education gain hands-on experience at the school.
UT Elementary offers students the latest and best approaches to teaching. Students receive individualized instruction in a nurturing environment as they work through rigorous curriculum and practice positive values. The school also provides significant community outreach and support. Extra enrichment days throughout the year—known as BEVO Days—provide them with bonus time for learning and activities.
The results of UT Elementary’s program are undeniable. Many students gain admission to Austin’s top intermediate schools, including Kealing Middle’s academic magnet program, the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders and distinguished area private schools.
As a public charter, UT Elementary is tuition-free and admission is based on a lottery system. Students who live within the Austin Independent School District, as well as a number of surrounding districts, are eligible to apply.
At University of Texas Elementary School, pre-kindergarten through fifth grade students prepare for a lifetime of success.

I love the learning enviroment. The class sizes are small. My children are happy and healthier and smarter.

Great school for early learning! Very engaged teachers! I was very surprised of how clean the facility was on our first visit. My three children have all attending this school and absolutely loved it. Although we do no longer live in this area we will always remember how great this school was!
