If you were a parent at AIS, you may find that your circle of friends and acquaintances may take on an international quality that you may have not experienced before.  Here at AIS, we have families from over 20 nationalities speaking approximately 16 language.  These families, although from vastly diverse backgrounds, have a shared vision to give their children a highly academic, international and multicultural education.  You will have your first taste of this international community at the annual International Potluck conducted each September after the new school year has begun.  Everyone is encouraged to bring a dish reflecting their cultural background.  It's good visiting and good eating! 

After your child or children begin attending AIS, you will hear them speaking and singing in French, Spanish and English at home.  When school friends come over to visit, you may find them speaking French while playing.  In addition, if you do not speak these languages, but you are learning, you may find your children teaching you and correcting you in your language skills.  AIS is very supportive of parents wanting to increase there language abilities as well, so you may find yourself learning a new language, as you had always wished.

You may find your children ready for bed.

Some AIS parents have expressed their appreciation for all of the outside play time AIS students receive on their daily basis.  "They not only exercise their brains, but also their bodies.  I love that they really get good recess time," Chris Heidel, CP parent.

You will have many opportunities to utilize your talents towards your child's education.

Whatever great skill you may have, AIS and its Parent-Teacher Organization will be happy to have you on board using it for AIS students.  From helping teachers with special events in the classroom to participating in our Green Committee, you will find many opportunities to share your talents.
