The German Heritage School located at 507 West 10th Street in Austin, Texas has been determined to be the oldest continuous operating private school in the state of Texas and Austin. The school building itself was built in 1857 and opened in 1858 as a private school that eventually became a charter school.
Housed in the historic German Free School, the German-Texan Heritage Society promotes awareness and preservation of the German cultural heritage of Texas by using and preserving this pre-Civil War era building. The German Free School was the first school in Austin chartered by the Texas State Legislature.
