Atlanta International School: Developing Courageous Leaders Who Shape Their World for the Better
Now in its fortieth year, Atlanta International School (AIS) offers a comprehensive International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, enhanced with a world-class language acquisition program, from two beautiful campuses.
AIS students develop the skills to collaborate on the challenges of the future creatively and are equipped to become changemakers. Faculty from around the world are focused on getting to know and value every student and their unique skills and strengths.
The result is a spirit of community and a celebration of the diversity of perspectives that come from students, families, faculty, and staff representing 90 nationalities and over 65 languages.
A full-immersion Preschool program for children ages three and four is offered in German, French, Chinese, and Spanish. From 5K through Grade 5, the inquiry-based IB curriculum is taught in two languages. All faculty are either native speakers or bilingual.
Students not only learn another language – they learn through language, developing the intercultural competence to flow between different nationalities and complex cultural situations with empathy, diplomacy, and respect for others.
Students entering Secondary School have varied language backgrounds, from beginner to those pursuing dual-language IB Diplomas.
The curriculum is complemented by an extensive range of age-appropriate activities, enhancing learning beyond the classroom. The Athletics Department is home to over 40 teams pursuing 12 different sports, as well as the prestigious tennis center, the Mouratoglou Academy Atlanta.
Theatrical and musical talent is showcased via regular performances alongside frequent art exhibitions. In addition to internships that students complete as part of a STEM or STEAM Diploma endorsement, other activities include service projects, Model United Nations, Mock Trial, the AIS Space Program, Robotics, and educational international trips.
Parents, alums, faculty, staff, and students all actively participate in the growth and sustainability of the school. The result is a community of global learners equipped to explore their passions and address the challenges of complexity to create an intentionally inclusive, sustainable future for all.
