This excellence has been recognized by the U.S. Department of State's Office of Overseas Schools, which assists schools in foreign countries which meet the criteria of U.S. type educational systems. The school receives an annual grant from the Office of Overseas Schools to assist in the educational support of U.S. Government dependent children. It is truly an American and an international school as it offers a full US curriculum to students from the States and twenty five other nations.
All instruction is in English and all textbooks are imported from the United States.
While AIS is intended to offer an American education in the international setting, its goals include the ability of all students to transition into any school in the States in a seamless and transparent manner. AIS offers English as a Second Language as well as Spanish to all students. The elementary school is operating near its full capacity as our maximum class size is 20 and the school maximum is carefully protected at 270 students. Admission decisions are made with the objective of a student's success in our program as the primary consideration. We welcome you to see our school and to meet the teachers and administration.
