Primary School (PS)

Secondary School (SS)

Our Primary School has three levels:

The AIS Secondary School is for students in Grades 6–12

The Early Learning Center (ELC), where students in 3K and 4K learn in spaces designed to create a ‘whole child’ experience. With indoor and outdoor classrooms, students’ days are immersed in one of four languages; Chinese, French, German or Spanish. Students then move to the Primary Learning Center (PLC), a bespoke building that opened in 2018. The PLC houses Lower Primary (5K–Grade 2) and Upper Primary (Grade 3–5). Here learning continues to nurture all aspects of student development, including immersive language learning. Students enjoy the Library, the Sports and Activity Center, and many outdoor facilities.

Secondary students spend their learning and recreation time in the historic AIS Main Building, the modern Arts, Science and Design building, the Sports and Activity Center, as well as the many outdoor spaces on campus, such as the Sports Field and Outdoor Pavilion. A rigorous and engaging approach to all learning creates a unique Middle and Upper School student experience. All students continue their second or third language acquisition throughout Secondary School. AIS Eagles graduate with both a world-class education and a strong sense of their own agency and impact.

Discover AIS

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Program At AIS, the IB is offered to every student. This internationally recognized curriculum is considered a global gold standard in education. AIS offers the IB’s Primary Years (3K–Grade 5), Middle Years (Grades 6–10), and the Diploma and Career-related Programs (Grades 11-12). Each builds upon the other, developing inquisitive, knowledgeable, and caring young people—who are motivated to succeed and make a difference in the world. AIS is one of only a handful of schools in the United States that offers this full IB continuum.

IB Programs Primary Years Program (PYP) We develop critical thinkers from a young age. Students become globally-minded, able to think conceptually to solve complex problems—and to do so collaboratively—with classmates from different cultures. It is an inquiry-based and concept-driven approach to learning.

Middle Years Program (MYP) We foster creative and reflective thinkers. MYP students are service-oriented doers and internationally-minded leaders, poised to make a positive impact in the world now and in the future. All MYP students participate in Service as Action, giving back to the community.

ATLANTA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

Diploma Program (DP) Students have an unparalleled depth and breadth of courses and self-managed learning. AIS students have a head-start when they reach college or university. DP students give back to the community through Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS). They study Theory of Knowledge, honing critical thinking skills. Through the DP Extended Essay requirement, students select topic of special interest to them and produce a 4,000 word essay.

Career-related program (CP) The CP is an internationally recognized framework that incorporates the IB philosophy and rigor into a unique program, focused on a career-related educational pathway.


The innovative CP curriculum develops future-ready students. The AIS CP has unique features for its students, such as; Personal & Professional Skills, Service Learning, a Reflective Project, and Language Development.

Other Pathways AISx Hybrid Learning AISx, is a unique flexible-learning program that allows students to pursue their passions in sports, arts, or other fields, without compromising high-quality academic rigor or holistic support. IB courses, honors-level classes, and several other curricular options are offered to AISx students. Classes are taught in person, through remote instruction, and asynchronously, depending on students’ individual needs.

A pathway for every learner at every stage.

Language Learning The Heart of AIS AIS has a unique approach to language learning. Every student chooses one of four additional languages, taught in different ways, according to grade level and skill.

Chinese 3K & 4K: Full immersion 5K: Dual immersion (50%) Grades 1–5: Partial immersion (30%) Grades 6–10: Language Acquisition Grades 11 & 12: Chinese B

French 3K & 4K: Full immersion 5K–Grade 5*: Dual immersion (50%) Grades 6–10: Language Acquisition or Language & Literature Grades 11 & 12: Language & Literature or French B

German 3K & 4K: Full immersion 5K–Grade 5*: Dual immersion (50%) Grades 6–10: Language Acquisition or Language & Literature Grades 11 & 12: Language & Literature, German B, or German ab initio

Spanish 3K & 4K: Full immersion 5K–Grade 5*: Dual immersion (50%) Grades 6–10: Language Acquisition or Language & Literature Grades 11 & 12: Language & Literature, Spanish B, or Spanish ab initio

*Until December in Grade 1, no previous language experience is necessary. After that students require a sufficient skill level to manage the dual language curriculum. Each student is assessed individually. From 5K, Chinese is partial not dual immersion due to the added complexity of learning characters rather than using the Roman alphabet. ATLANTA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL


Additional Languages Primary School Language Clubs Language Clubs support student learning through activities such as crafts, art, or cuisine. Heritage Language Program The Heritage Language Program is open to students from 5K–Grade 5 and fosters home languages outside of our curriculum, currently Arabic, Dutch, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Turkish.

Secondary School Supported Self-Taught Languages (SSST) We promote the heritage of a student’s home language and through SSST they can pursue native languages beyond our curricular language. SSST students are guided by a faculty member and partnered with an outside tutor. Bilingual Diploma All AIS students graduate with skills to communicate in at least two languages, with many students reaching a level of skill that earns them a bilingual or even trilingual Diploma.

Supporting our Students We understand that your student’s well-being is the most important thing in the world. Our counseling services will ensure that the academic, social, emotional, and personal needs of your child are met—so they can reach their highest potential. Counseling is tailored to the individual needs of every student. Your student’s counselor is their advocate, helping them to be the most they can be. They work with parents, teachers, and outside resources to give every student the tools for positive growth and development. Learning Support The Learning Support Department is committed to helping each child become a successful, effective, and joyful learner. We create an inclusive educational environment that fosters self-awareness and confidence. We aim to enhance their learning opportunities and help them reach their full individual potential.

English as an Additional Language (EAL) Our goal is to ensure that students’ English proficiency allows them to reach their highest academic potential. We work with students, parents, and teachers to identify each child’s needs and to tailor teaching to meet their English language skill level.

Primary School

Middle School

Upper School

Our Jr. Eagles can explore a range of sports throughout the school year, with a focus on developing fundamental skills and gaining an in-depth understanding of each game.

Middle School athletics are about getting in the game, building confidence, and having fun while learning to compete.

Grades 9–12 have the chance to compete at a high level while growing as athletes and leaders.

Primary School students can enjoy basketball, golf, soccer, tennis, cheerleading, and volleyball.

Most sports are no-cut, and athletes get to represent our school in competitions. Our goal is to help students fall in love with sports. Offerings include basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, swim, tennis, track & field, ultimate frisbee, and volleyball.

ATLANTA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

Team placement is based on skill and commitment, and our athletes proudly represent AIS in the Georgia High School Association, with many teams reaching state championship competition. Basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, swim and dive, tennis, track and field, ultimate frisbee, and volleyball are typically offered.


Arts Arts play a critical role in developing students, as effective communicators, able to express creativity. Theatre, music, visual arts, and media & film classes at AIS emphasize innovation, learning the craft, process, and technique of an art form.

Media & Film Practical, hands-on instruction allows students to experience media production. Classes guide them to understand the power of media as a tool of expression and investigation.

Visual Arts All students participate in the IB Visual Arts program, providing a way to explore the world through artistic expression. Students have the opportunity to display artwork throughout the school.

Theatre Through their classes and the co-curricular theatre season, AIS students develop a passion for theatre. Their training helps them to take risks, solve problems, and have their voices heard.

Music Our Department of Music serves all students from 3K to Grade 12. Through music classes, ensembles (chorus, orchestra, and band), and an extensive private lesson program, students create, participate, and reflect on music from many cultures.

Global & Experiential Learning Travel and AIS go hand in hand. Primary students take trips every year. In Grade 5 they have a residential trip to either China, Costa Rica, Germany, or France. Secondary students have Eagles Learning Experiences each school year, to destinations such as Florida, Utah, Germany, or Iceland. They can also travel in support of their classes and extracurriculars—to Peru for service projects for example.

ATLANTA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL


Innovation By being reflective risk-takers, AIS students are perfectly poised to innovate. Innovation is found throughout our curriculum and the teaching at AIS. We strive to inspire your student to shape their future for the better. By encouraging them to pursue a wide range of activities both in and out of school, innovation happens. At AIS we ask students to push the boundaries of their thinking, in science, arts, language, and global understanding.

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) In Primary School, STEAM is transdisciplinary. Students inquire and investigate through interconnected thinking. In Secondary School, STEAM is interdisciplinary, where students integrate subject knowledge and skills with real world issues.

Innovation Programs

Makerspaces

We support student innovation through initiatives such as AIS Innovators, STEAM Lunch & Learn, Space Program, Summer Internships, and co-curricular programs.

We have dedicated Makerspaces in Primary and Secondary Schools. Equipped with state-of-theart technology, students are encouraged to design, prototype, and iterate products.

Secondary School

Secondary School: Grades 6–12 Secondary School has two levels—Middle and Upper, and both are housed in the same building.

Middle School (Grades 6–8) Students follow the IB Middle Years Program. Their schedule is arranged over a two week cycle, during which they study 9 different classes. Some are options (electives), selected at the start of each Grade (such as computer science, additional languages, music ensembles, or extended math). All other classes are universal. Students with a high language proficiency can take humanities classes taught in French, German, or Spanish. There are so many extracurricular activities available and students are encouraged to pursue their passions. Athletics, theatre productions, and community service activities ensure there is something for everyone. At the end of Grade 8, students and families enjoy celebrations, including a formal awards evening.

ATLANTA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL


Upper School During the first two grades of Upper School (9-10) students finish their IB Middle Years Program. In Grade 11 students continue with either the IB Diploma or Career-related program. AIS graduates also receive their Georgia High School Diploma and STEM/STEAM endorsements are available. The IB Diploma can be attained in more than one language (a bilingual or trilingual diploma). The IBCP is also internationally recognized by colleges and universities. Students Grades 9 - 11 are encouraged to participate in an internship over the summer, where they are matched with one of our many partners in industry, professions and commerce.

Secondary School Beyond the Classroom

At Atlanta International School, we constantly ask ourselves, “How do we best prepare your student for life beyond school?” The answer lies not only in the world-renowned IB curriculum, but in the opportunities we offer outside the classroom.

In addition to the industry internships, students throughout Secondary School participate in activities, including Global and Experiential Learning, Service as Action (SA), Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS), Athletics, Arts, and more.

Co-curricular & Extra curricular options Secondary school students have clubs that include the following; Afterschool Music Lessons, Athletics, Model United Nations, MS/US Theatre Production, InVenture, MS Math Competition Club, MS Coding Club, Robotics, Science Olympiad, AV Team.

ATLANTA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL


Service as Action (SA) SA is a fundamental part of the Middle Years Program. All students in Grades 6–10 are involved by participating in projects that contribute to positive change (be that in school, the local area, or globally). Projects are often initiated by students and connect to their classes.

Creativity, Activity, Service Another unique way in which AIS fosters worldready leaders is through Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS), an essential element of the IB Diploma Program. CAS extends learning beyond the classroom as students initiate and participate in experiences representing the three strands: • Creativity: Arts and other experiences that involve creative thinking. • Activity: Physical exertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle. • Service: Collaborative and engagement with the community in response to an authentic need. For each CAS experience, students learn to initiate and plan, implement, take action, and adapt as necessary.
