Welcome to the Middle School at AIS. One of the main goals of Middle School education is to create a personalized, compassionate, and community-oriented environment characterized by deeply engaged learning for all members.
The middle years at AIS mark a critical and exciting transition from childhood to young adulthood. Our Middle School curriculum follows rigorous American-based standards, primarily adopted from the Common Core State Standards. In Grades 5–8, we help students successfully navigate this transition by providing an educational program that holistically supports both academic success and positive personal growth. Our nurturing environment, founded on strong relationships and a sense of belonging, is driven by our Core Values of Justice, Knowledge, and Love.
AIS students are eager to learn, explore new ideas, and express their opinions as they develop independence and confidence. Our dedicated and talented faculty understands the importance of providing multiple pathways for success, building on students’ interests, and maintaining engaging learning experiences. Teachers encourage students’ enthusiasm and natural curiosity while providing necessary guidance and structure. The Middle School faculty recognizes that learning is greatly enhanced through inquiry, exploration, sharing, and reflection.
At AIS, learning extends beyond the classroom. Our students are encouraged to become fully involved in the AIS community through active participation in our many extracurricular activities, including after-school programs and athletics. We strive to help our students become well-rounded individuals who are effective communicators, empowered thinkers, and global citizens.
