NEWSLETTER  February 2021 MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF SCHOOL Renewed hopes, major challenges, creative paths and new opportunities – that is how I will define the start of 2021.

NEWSLETTER  December 2020 MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF SCHOOL Thank you very much for your continued support and understanding, through these uncertain times. The best thing that has happened this term has been the transition of classes from virtual to campus.

NEWSLETTER  July 2020 MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF SCHOOL ‘Teamwork makes a dream work’, I am a believer of this adage, now more than ever! In March 2020, we were faced with a situation that affected us globally, regionally, and as a school community, just in different amplitudes.

NEWSLETTER  May 2020 MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF SCHOOL Dear AIS Family, Hope you are all safe and healthy.
