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.

Every year, we have received great support from parents, who have left motivating notes on our boards and brought delicious snacks for staff members. This year, the pandemic has changed how we live, think and function. Therefore, [...]

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. Today, as I have ridden the wave, I know the only thing that kept us sailing successfully was our community spirit, the trust every AIS parent instilled in us, the love of every student for their school, the Directors’ conviction and faith, my hardworking teaching and nonteaching staff, [...]

To begin with: A big thank you to AIS Teachers and Staff for being positive, listeners, accomodative, taking criticism in your stride, hardworking, lifelong learners and inspiring.
