Each programme is designed to match the educational needs of students today and tomorrow, and to nurture the skills and attitudes they need to excel at their careers of choice and lead meaningful lives. https://www.ibo.org/university-admission/discover-why-ib-students-succeed/

OUR IB POLICIES
Admission Policy
American International School welcomes all students who are able to access our
curriculum, opportunities, and experiences, regardless of their background or abilities.
We strongly believe that the IB program is essential for cultivating lifelong learners and
that every student has their own unique talents. However, in order to take full advantage
of our school's offerings and uncover new strengths, students must be willing to adapt,
take risks, and embrace an open-minded approach. Read more
Language Policy
AIS’ mission is the foundation of our school’s language policy and in accordance with the
International Baccalaureate Organization’s policies, recognizes that language is central to
learning. The school’s language policy sees all teachers as being responsible for the
language development of their students and is therefore responsible for facilitating
communication through the planning and delivery of their courses. It has been developed
around the needs of our specific school community, programmes, and local context, with
our students at the center. Thus, our language policy document is constantly evolving.
The purpose of this document is to serve as a guideline connected to key resources that
we use in our language programmes at AIS. Read more
Assessment Policy
