Ayaan loves AIS more than being at home. He enjoys the hands-on learning in science and math, as well as his makerspace and ICT classes. AIS has helped him become more confident and develop social skills that were challenging to instill at home. The school stands out for its focus on self-development, self-awareness, and comprehensive education.

Strong academic foundation

Students build a strong academic foundation as they immerse in hands-on, constructivist, inquiry-based learning.

At AIS, we lay particular emphasis on reading, writing, math, and problem-solving from Grades 1-12. This is made possible with an enhanced reading program - powered by Fountas & Pinnel, complemented by a library of 10,000+ books; an applied math program supported by a math lab; and a hands-on science program which encourages students to think like scientists. In higher grades, we focus on building mastery through tools like Kognity, tiered worksheets, and small group mentorship. AIS faculty prepare students to tackle complex issues by designing learning that is relevant, engaging, and challenging.

Whole child development

Students get opportunities across a variety of interests whether it be sports, visual and performing arts, or coding and design thinking.

Our whole child approach to education focuses on developing each child’s  innate abilities and collaboration skills so that they can successfully navigate the world of the future. Our teachers draw on students’ passions, talents, and learning styles to create an education that cultivates the whole child - academically, socially, and emotionally. In their primary years, students are given a wide range of experiences to figure out what they love. In high school, students choose to pursue their passion-based creative pursuits to build their portfolio. Through cultural celebrations and intra & inter-school events, students get a chance to showcase their skills to a wider audience.

Learning by doing, Learning by caring

Students participate in community outreach projects that help them become proactive, empathetic problem solvers and global citizens.

Care for self, care for others, and care for the community are foundational to the AIS culture. In the PYP, through the 6 transdisciplinary themes, students engage in hands-on experiences and real-world explorations as they work on globally relevant issues. They take on community trips and projects within units of inquiry and design their Grade 5 exhibition with a focus on community work. In the coding, robotics, and design thinking program, middle school students choose one of UN SDGs for their keystone project. In high school, students undertake CAS projects - this equips them to research, plan, learn necessary skills, and make choices that benefit the world.

Becoming future ready

Students become critical thinkers and problem solvers while understanding themselves, their relationships, and their connections to the world.

At AIS, our commitment extends beyond the present. From the outset in the PYP years, through our transdisciplinary and inquiry-based approach, emphasis is placed on nurturing research, social, communication, and critical thinking skills. These transferable, 21st century skills are lifelong tools that prepare learners for a rapidly changing world. Our students evolve into great readers, writers, problem solvers, researchers, designers, explorers, and critical thinkers, all while using their growing knowledge and acquired skills to understand the world around them. As they move to higher grades, our college counselling team works with them closely to identify their skills, strengths, and passions and helps them get into their dream college. With AIS, students aren’t just prepared for tests—they're prepared for life.

AIS gives every student opportunities to strengthen their interests, whether in sports, academics or other activities. When I joined in Grade 1, I was very shy, but the supportive teachers and learning experiences helped me build confidence and speak up. I am proud to be an AIS student and excited to keep growing.

When I joined AIS, I was a shy student who lacked the confidence to speak up. The faith my teachers and mentors placed in me helped me grow, eventually giving me the confidence to run for Head Girl. Being honoured with that role in the student council was one of the best experiences of my journey, and I know I’ll carry the confidence and values AIS has given me wherever I go.

AIS has always felt like my second home. I first knew it through my sister, and over the years, I built an identity of my own here. Many of the values I carry today were planted during my PYP years, when the IB Learner Profile shaped how I learnt to think, collaborate, and grow. As I reach my final year, I know that no matter where life takes me, a part of me will always belong here.

Coming from Japan, I especially value that AIS gives children opportunities beyond basic academics. Through Makerspace, dance, theatre, sports, and art, my son is able to create, express himself, and work with others. When he first joined AIS, he was nervous about being in a new country and culture. Over time, he made good friends, became more confident, and widened his view of the world.
