Founder's Note

Dear Parents,

This year, AIS turned 25 — a milestone that fills me with gratitude and pride. When I founded AIS, it was with a simple dream: to give my own children, and families in Ahmedabad who shared this vision, an education that is global, values-driven, and future-ready.

In these 25 years, our students have consistently excelled—earning top results across boards, securing places at leading universities worldwide, and, most importantly, growing into thoughtful, creative, and compassionate individuals. That has always been our measure of success.

The world our students are entering is evolving faster than ever. AI is transforming how we learn and work. Careers change overnight, new fields emerge, and information is everywhere. At AIS, we see this as an opportunity to ask bold questions:

  • How do we help children think deeply, act with integrity, and learn with joy?
  • What is a teacher’s role when answers are a click away?
  • How do we make school feel as real as life beyond its gates?

Our response is clear: focus on timeless, transferable skills—curiosity, communication, critical and creative thinking, ethical judgment, and collaboration—so students can thrive in any future.

We build these skills through inquiry-led learning, strong foundations in reading and mathematics, rich programs in the arts and languages, and future-facing pathways in coding, robotics, and design thinking. Students explore AI literacy early, learn essential life skills like financial literacy, and engage in structured career exploration and personalised college counselling. Technology and AI are woven in thoughtfully, always keeping human judgment and care at the centre.

As we celebrate 25 years, our commitment remains the same: to inspire a love for learning, nurture confident and compassionate leaders, and prepare our children not just for exams, but for life.

Warmly,
Gorsi

IB Diploma Programme

The Diploma Programme offered by the IB is an assessed program for students aged 16 to 19. The Programme, respected by universities across the globe, focuses on developing students who:

  • have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge
  • flourish intellectually, emotionally, and ethically
  • study at least 2 languages
  • excel in traditional academic subjects
  • explore the nature of knowledge through the programme’s unique theory of knowledge course

The DP curriculum is made of the DP Core and the six subject groups.

Made up of the three required components, the DP core aims to broaden students’ educational experience and challenges them to apply their knowledge and skills. The three core elements are:

  • Theory of knowledge (TOK): in which students reflect on the nature of knowledge and on how we know what we claim to know.
  • The Extended Essay (EE): which is an independent, self-directed piece of research, finishing with a 4,000-word paper.
  • Creativity, activity, service (CAS): in which students complete a project related to those three concepts.

The six subject groups are:

  • Studies in language and literature
  • Language acquisition
  • Individuals and societies
  • Sciences
  • Mathematics
  • The arts

Choosing subjects in the diploma program

Students choose courses from the above mentioned 6 subject subject groups. Students may opt to study an additional sciences, individuals and societies, or languages course, instead of a course in the arts.

Students take some subjects at higher level (HL) and some at standard level (SL). HL and SL courses differ in scope but are measured according to the same grade descriptors, with students expected to demonstrate a greater body of knowledge, understanding and skills at higher level.

Each student takes at least three (but not more than four) subjects at higher level, and the remaining at standard level. Standard level subjects take up 150 teaching hours. Higher level comprises 240 teaching hours.

IBDP curriculum

IB Diploma Programme students study six courses at higher level or standard level. Students must choose one subject from each of groups 1 to 5, thus ensuring breadth of experience in languages, social studies, the experimental sciences and mathematics. The sixth subject may be an arts subject chosen from group 6, or the student may choose another subject from groups 1 to 5.

In addition the programme has three core requirements that are included to broaden the educational experience and challenge students to apply their knowledge and understanding.

The extended essay is a requirement for students to engage in independent research through an in-depth study of a question relating to one of the subjects they are studying.

Theory of knowledge is a course designed to encourage each student to reflect on the nature of knowledge by critically examining different ways of knowing (perception, emotion, language and reason) and different kinds of knowledge (scientific, artistic, mathematical and historical).

Creativity, action, service requires that students actively learn from the experience of doing real tasks beyond the classroom. Students can combine all three components or do activities related to each one of them separately.

Programme Model

The curriculum is modelled by a hexagon with six academic areas surrounding the three core requirements.

IBDP Curriculum

Program outline

Over the course of the two-year programme, students

  • Study six subjects chosen from the six subject groups
  • Complete an extended essay
  • Follow a theory of knowledge course (TOK)
  • Participate in creativity, action, service (CAS).
  • Three of the six subjects are studied at higher level (courses representing 240 teaching hours)
  • The remaining three subjects are studied at standard level (courses representing 150 teaching hours).
  • Subjects, other than languages, may be taught and examined in English, French, Spanish

Theory of knowledge

The theory of knowledge (TOK) requirement is central to the educational philosophy of the Diploma Programme.

It offers students and their teachers the opportunity to

  • Reflect critically on diverse ways of knowing and on areas of knowledge
  • Consider the role and nature of knowledge in their own culture, in the cultures of others and in the wider world.
  • Be aware of themselves as thinkers, encouraging them to become more acquainted with the complexity of knowledge
  • Recognize the need to act responsibly in an increasingly interconnected but uncertain world.

As a thoughtful and purposeful inquiry into different ways of knowing, and into different kinds of knowledge, TOK is composed almost entirely of questions. The most central of these is “How do we know?”

It is a stated aim of TOK that students should become aware of the interpretative nature of knowledge, including personal ideological biases, regardless of whether, ultimately, these biases are retained, revised or rejected.

TOK also has an important role to play in providing coherence for the student as it transcends and links academic subject areas, thus demonstrating the ways in which they can apply their knowledge with greater awareness and credibility.

Extended Essay

The extended essay is an independent, self-directed piece of research, culminating in a 4,000-word paper. As a required component, it provides:

  • Practical preparation for the kinds of undergraduate research required at tertiary level
  • An opportunity for students to engage in an in-depth study of a topic of interest within a chosen subject.

Emphasis is placed on the research process

  • Formulating an appropriate research question
  • Engaging in a personal exploration of the topic
  • Communicating ideas
  • Developing an argument.

Participation in this process develops the capacity to

  • Analyse
  • Synthesize, and
  • Evaluate knowledge.

At AIS, the students are supported throughout the process with advice and guidance from a supervisor (usually a teacher at the school).

Creativity, Action, Service (CAS)

The CAS requirement is a fundamental part of the programme and takes seriously the importance of life outside the world of scholarship, providing a refreshing counterbalance to academic studies.

  • Creativity is interpreted broadly to include a wide range of arts activities as well as the creativity students demonstrate in designing and implementing service projects.
  • Action can include not only participation in individual and team sports but also taking part in expeditions and in local or international projects.
  • Service encompasses a host of community and social service activities. Some examples include helping children with special needs, visiting hospitals and working with refugees or homeless people.

Students are expected to be involved in CAS activities for the equivalent of at least three hours each week during the two years of the programme.

A system of self-evaluation encourages students to reflect on the benefits of CAS participation to themselves and to others, and to evaluate the understanding and insights acquired.

Cambridge AS & A Levels

Thousands of learners across the world gain places at leading universities in UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia every year with Cambridge International AS & A Levels. The syllabi aim to develop a deep understanding of subjects and independent thinking skills. They are part of the Cambridge Advanced stage. Some US universities give up to a year’s credit to students who have completed the AS & A levels.

Cambridge International AS & A Level develops learners’ knowledge, understanding and skills in:

  • In-depth subject content
  • Independent thinking
  • Applying knowledge and understanding to new as well as familiar situations
  • Handling and evaluating different types of information source
  • Thinking logically and presenting ordered and coherent arguments
  • Making judgements, recommendations and decisions
  • Presenting reasoned explanations, understanding implications and communicating them logically and clearly
  • Working and communicating in English

Subjects Offered

Students find Cambridge International AS and A Levels very flexible. We, at AIS, offer the following subjects:

  • English Language
  • Physics
  • Chemistry
  • Biology
  • Mathematics
  • Accounting
  • Economics
  • Business
  • Psychology
  • Art and Design

Assessment

We offer 2 assessment options for students choosing to study the AS & A levels program.

Option 1

Take all A Level exams in the same examination session, usually at the end of the second year of study.

Option 2

Take a ‘staged’ assessment route – take the Cambridge International AS Level in one examination session and complete the final Cambridge International A Level at a subsequent session. The staged assessment route is not possible in all subjects. The outcomes awarded for Cambridge International AS Level language syllabuses cannot be carried forward to Cambridge International A Level.

Cambridge International AS and A Level examination sessions are held once a year in the month of March.

Cambridge International AS and A Levels use a wide range of assessment processes and techniques to supplement formal written examinations – orals, practicals, projects and coursework of differing types are all used in various subjects where they are the most effective and appropriate means of measuring attainment.

Technology

At AIS, technology is not a tool, it is an environment. We believe that technology, if used in the right way, can transform the school experience. We embrace technology with enthusiasm always bearing in mind that technology can never replace human relationships or experiential, in-person learning.

Technology Infrastructure

We are revamping our technology infrastructure to provide our students easy access to the best in class education and creativity tools. A high speed internet connection, iPads for each student in grades 5-7, laptops for students in grade 8 and above, Macbooks for all teachers, are some of the features of our technology program. We are also setting up a Makerspace and a virtual reality lab to open up more avenues of learning for our students.

Technology for Personalised Learning

Each child is unique, therefore their education should also be. We are creating technology to personalise the learning experience for our students based on their needs and interests. Through our technology platform, students can learn in their own time, at their own pace, and in the space of their preference. Through targeted insights, our teachers are able to customise their lesson plans to cater to the needs of each individual student.

Learning and Creativity Tools

Platforms such as Khan Academy, Coursera, and Lynda.com help our students access educational content across subject areas while other apps such as Nova Elements and World History help them learn in more interesting ways. While Kahoot and Google Apps for Education help increase classroom engagement, creativity tools such as Scratch, Hopscotch, Swifty, and Figure allow students to pursue their interests in music, design, and coding.

Technology for Efficiency and Transparency

Astute use of technology helps our teachers streamline logistical tasks, enabling them to spend more time quality time with students. Our AIS Parent app, provides parents a view into their child’s classroom experience. Parents get regular updates about their child’s growth and their individual work, and also receive class-wide and school-wide announcements.
