The Irving Independent School District dates back to 1909 when established for the students of the then “Kit” and “Lively” communities.  Today there are more than forty campuses in the Irving school district.  The city’s students also attend schools in the Carrollton/Farmer’s Branch Independent School District and the Coppell Independent School District.  Cistercian Preparatory School is considered one of the best private schools in the state for boys, grades 5 – 12.
