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
