Welcome to ATI Austin
Offering Middle and High School programs
Welcome to the Academy of Thought and Industry at ATI Austin! We are middle and high school for a rapidly developing world that helps young people step into their full potential through meaningful and engaged academics, individual coaching, real world work, and an ambitious and supportive community.
I am an Austin native and proud product of a radical high school educational model that altered the course of my life for the better. I have devoted my life to re-imagining adolescent education and the product is the Academy of Thought and Industry.
Whether you are a student, parent, or interested community member, we want to connect with you. We invite you to reach out to come to a visit, tour during an open house, or attend an end of semester showcase.
I look forward to talking to you about how we can support teens rise.
Julia Richards, Head of School
