Early Years
Children start in Early Years in our Foundation Stage Class when they are 3+.
Children who are 4+ join our Reception Class.
Learning in the Early Years at AIS is play-based and child-centred.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage program which is part of the English National Curriculum.
The Middle Years
The Middle Years at AIS covers the next three years of a student’s school life, Years 7, 8 and 9.
Middle Years students continue their educational development following the English National Curriculum and the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC).
The Higher Years
Students in the Higher Years study for a range of Cambridge International Qualifications.
In Years 10 and 11 they study up to 8 IGCSE subjects. In Years 12 and 13 they study up to 3 A-Level subjects.
These qualifications enable them to apply and gain access to universities across the world in their chosen subject.
