The Lower Secondary School at AIS is for students aged 11 to 15 (Years 7 to 11) and follows the University of Cambridge Secondary programme. It extends the inquiry-based approach that the IB Primary Years Programme offers while also preparing the students for the rigours, challenges and demands of the IB Diploma Programme.
All students undertake major and minor core subjects. A strong focus on English, Mathematics and Science is a feature of the School. Well-equipped classrooms and laboratories provide an ideal setting for practical, experiential learning. Information Technology is used extensively in all curriculum areas and specialist teachers in Art, Music and Physical Education allow students to allow students to develop interests and skills that will last a life time.
Our programmes provide not only rigour and challenge, but depth, breadth and variety. Our academic and co-curricular programmes provide students with enriching experiences and opportunities. AIS is committed to providing a secondary school education of the highest standards, maintained by internationally qualified and knowledgeable teachers who keep abreast of change and innovative educational trends.
Students have specialist teachers in each subject. Gifted and talented students are extended through enrichment and accelerated learning programmes in selected subjects.
