What a gift it is to have a community that supports our students and programs. This is just one of the many ways that our community supports us and we are incredibly thankful!

From Promise to Progress! We are grateful for a community that continues to support Bryan ISD. With a strong foundation of trust, we look forward to sharing how bond funding is turning promises into progress.

With the flexibility of the hybrid model, your students can be a part of our fine arts programs - whether they are in person or virtual students!

Now launching: Bryan ISD Virtual Academy.

Bryan ISD is excited to introduce a new, tuition-free virtual learning option for students in grades 3–12 who thrive in a non-traditional setting. Beginning in August 2026, the Virtual Academy will offer a rigorous online education with two flexible pathways: Full-Time Virtual [grades 3-12] and Full-Time Hybrid [grades 7-12] (a blend of virtual and in-person learning). Out-of-district transfers are also welcome.

Students will have access to advanced academic courses while staying connected to the full Bryan ISD experience through extracurricular opportunities like athletics, fine arts, CTE, and student organizations.

Admission is based on a review of prior academic records, including grades and STAAR performance. Students requiring specialized services will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Apply today to secure your spot for the upcoming school year. Space is limited.
