Dear Families and Students,

We have had a wonderful Elementary STEAM Week with a visit from Jurassic Garage, the start of ECAs for Session 3, and the PTA hosted a successful bake sale today on our Charitable Free Dress Day. There’s always something good going on at our wonderful school. This week, I had the opportunity to hear presentations from our AP Research students whose hard work and commitment to academic excellence was on full display.

School Growth

I am pleased to share that AIS will be growing next year, with plans to continue to grow strategically over the coming three years. Demand for spaces is high, and we are delighted to be able to expand our offerings to include more students and families. The table below illustrates the classes that will be added in the fall of 2025, along with the anticipated expansion timeline for 2026-2027 and 2027-2028.

Plans are already well underway, and we are excited for the opportunities that welcoming new families to our school community will bring.
