OUR CURRICULUM W e c a n ' t w a i t t o s h a r e o u r m a g i c w i t h y o u !
The AISB curriculum is based on an American educational model within an international approach and context. From the Early Childhood Program to the IB Diploma Program, our teachers employ engaging, research-based methodologies that highlight critical thinking, inquiry, and creativity. These methodologies give our students the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that will enable them to take their places as leaders in the 21st century. Our curriculum is developed using an Understanding by Design framework and organized around Essential Questions and Enduring Understandings.
We provide tailored English as an Additional Language (EAL) and Learning Resource (LRC) specialists to differentiate learning and allow each student to fulfill his or her academic and social potential.
Standards-Based Curriculum
The AISB curriculum is standards based; it emphasizes critical thinking skills and creativity through an inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning. Students are assessed on internationally-benchmarked standards in each discipline.
Standards-Based Grading and Reporting
All divisions in the school use a Standards-Based Grading (SBG) and reporting approach. The goal of SBG is to improve student learning by better communicating what each student knows and can do in relation to the topic-specific standards. The feedback that students and parents receive relative to these standards is specific, current, and meaningful. It paints a more accurate picture of student progress than traditional grading and reporting.
