Each year our Cours Elementaire (2nd and 3rd grade) and Cours Moyen (4th and 5th grade) students take part in our trilingual science fair.  A contest is held and outside college professors or scientists are the judges.  Each student must give an explanation of their projects to the judges as well as create a display to demonstrate the experiment.  Students enjoy explaining his or her project findings, and the results are always anticipated.

Class Projects

Each class conducts many academic projects during the year.  From making short films and anthologies of literary works done in class, to learning in depth about a particular country or profession, AIS students are continually encouraged and inspired to think outside the box.

International Week

AIS strives to give each student a multilingual, multicultural education year-round via its French, Spanish, and English immersion curriculum. Once a year, we host a week of international events beyond the regular lessons. During International Week, students focus in-depth on a chosen country to study its people, language, food, culture, history, traditions, and other features. Each class carries out its regular lessons using the chosen country as a theme and tool for several weeks, culminating in the final week of events where students share a presentation with their fellow classmates and schoolmates. On the last day, we host an international pot-luck for the entire AIS community so that families can share a special dish. Costumes, posters, singing, and food fill the school and make learning about the world fun and exciting. Visit our photo gallery from International Week 2009.

Choir

Students in PS, MS, GS, and CP have choir once a week, and students in CE1 through CM2 begin each school day with a quarter hour of singing practice. In 2008-09, the choir performed publicly at the Zilker Park Trail of Lights, at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center, at Cedar Park High School; their capstone performance was at the Texas State Capitol Building. The choir will travel to Lablachère, France in Ardèche during spring 2010 to visit a choir there and practice common songs.
