Building and Showcasing Diverse Skills

Admissions committees value students with independent thinking, curiosity, and a commitment to learning. At AIS, students build leadership skills while brainstorming practical solutions to real world problems through the Harvard Young Entrepreneurship Program. Through our Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Internal Assessments (IA), and Extended Essay (EE) workshops and capstone projects, students hone essential critical thinking, analytical thinking and research skills.

Community Service

Colleges value the quality and impact of community service over quantity. Our students engage in authentic projects with rural schools, local colleges, and other organizations. Our CAS Workshop provides students with opportunities to challenge themselves, learn skills like collaboration, problem-solving, and social responsibility, and make a meaningful impact. This contributes to IBDP students' CAS requirement while developing leadership, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Building Stand-out Projects

Students can choose between visual arts and coding, robotics, & digital fabrication to build impressive extracurricular projects for their college applications. In visual arts, they explore painting, printmaking, sculpture, and digital art, showcasing their work at Kala, our annual art festival. In coding and robotics, students develop apps, AI games, and robots, featuring their innovations at our annual MakerFest.

From the beginning, AIS has been the educational home for both our daughters. We admire the organized, high-quality teaching, having witnessed its consistency through our elder's graduation and as our younger one navigates high school. We are truly delighted with how they are embraced, nurtured, and supported by the teachers.
