The first IB World School in Texas was Bellaire High School in Houston, authorized in 1979. Since then, the IB has expanded significantly, with over 188 IB World Schools in Texas offering 234 programmes as of 2024. Today, Texas universities—including the University of Texas and Texas A&M—recognize the IB Diploma for college credit.
