A message from Austin ISD

The enrollment process will look different this year due to potential school consolidations and boundary changes. While the Enroll Austin platform won’t open until January 2026, application-based schools and programs are now accepting materials. 

Step 1–Now through January: Please visit the campus websites of the programs you are interested in for their specific application requirements and deadlines. 


Step 2–Now through January: Complete the application requirements and submit directly to the campus(es) to which you are applying. Request teacher recommendations from your teachers. 


Step 3–Starting in January (date coming soon!): Visit Enroll Austin when it opens in January to complete your official application. All students must submit an Enroll Austin application ranking the programs to which they have applied in order to be considered. 


Thank you for your interest in Murchison Middle School's International Baccalaureate program.

International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (IB MYP)

If your student is zoned for Murchison Middle School there is no application required for attendance.  For students that attend one of Murchison's feeder schools you will indicate your "Intent to Enroll" at Murchison when it is shown as your home school based on your address.  

Students who live outside of the Murchison attendance zone will be required to apply by following the steps below:

  • fill out a supplemental materials application (available now) that goes directly to Murchison MS
  • request recommendations from teachers to be used when completing the Enroll Austin requirements linked below
  • complete the district application found at Enroll Austin (coming January 2026)
