The Headwaters School of today arose from the 2011 merger of the Khabele School and Primavera Montessori School, two institutions founded in 2001. Even as our school has evolved to meet the challenges of the future, we are proud that several of the original founders and guides are still at Headwaters.

The merger created a fully-integrated school to serve children 18 months old through 12th grade, and in 2016 all three campuses were unified under the name Headwaters School, symbolizing the journey of discovery and growth that takes place at our school.

In 2014, we launched the renowned International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for our high school juniors and seniors–the challenging capstone of a Headwaters education. Headwaters was one of the earliest adopters of the IB framework in Austin because it aligns so well with our values and prepares students to succeed in college and life. In fact, Montessori education and International Baccalaureate share a commitment to growing compassionate global citizens who are self-directed lifelong learners.

Reflecting our heritage as a school founded by teachers, our inspiring guides remain central to our success and the heart of our culture of intellectual mentorship. As our community envisions Headwaters’ next 25 years, we are deeply committed to attracting and retaining inspiring educators, enhancing our programs, and reimagining our education facilities so our students can solve problems big and small.
