ABOUT THE HIGH SCHOOL

ABOUT THE HIGH SCHOOL

The curriculum of the AISC High School has its foundations in the liberal arts approach to education, which offers students the opportunity to explore and learn in all of the academic disciplines. We seek to educate the whole child and encourage participation in extracurricular activities such as team and individual sports, visual and performing arts and community service. Our students learn responsible citizenship by actively participating in the governance of the school.

In the High School, our goal is to assure that our students are well prepared for success in post-secondary education and beyond. We seek to do this by:

• Presenting a challenging program of instruction leading to an American High

School Diploma.

• Providing a learning environment in which students explore, question, evaluate and analyze information and ideas through active participation and collaboration.

• Offering a balanced course of study in English language and literature, a second language, social studies, science, mathematics, fine and performing arts, design and information technology, physical education and health.

• Offering elective courses, online courses, personalized academic learning and extracurricular activities to allow students to pursue their interests.

• Encouraging students to develop an awareness and understanding of global issues and prepare for their roles as responsible global citizens.

• Ensuring that the school environment provides for the cognitive, emotional, social, aesthetic and physical development of our students.

• Offering the option of earning advanced standing in college through the

International Baccalaureate Diploma Program and/or Advanced Placement courses.
