A Typical Day at AIS
From Academics to Enrichment
From finger puppets and poems, cooking class and sing alongs for the youngest students to science experiments and acrogym, choir practice and computers for the older students, the school day is brimming with activity. Optional extracurricular activities extend the learning day for enhanced science, art, music, dance, and other enrichments for parents picking up after the bell rings.
We invite you to take some time to explore a typical day for our elementary students in:
- PS and MS (ages 3 through 4)
- GS through CE1 (ages 5 through 7)
- CE2 through CM2 (ages 8 through 10)
If you are considering our secondary program, students' days take into acount discrete subject requirements:
- AIS Middle School (ages 11 through 13)
Once the bell rings at 3:15pm each day (or 3:30pm for Secondary School), students may then extend their learning through our Extracurricular Program.
