Teachers - Experts in International School Curriculum

AIS faculty are invested professionals who care deeply about children and the field of education.  AIS teachers understand that each child learns differently and that teaching methods, curricula and approach need to be responsive to these differences.  Teachers dedicate ample time to studying the process of the way each child learns in order to design an individualized plan to help students meet and exceed their goals.

Teachers at AIS model a passion for learning, excitement for subject matter and creativity in thinking.  Teachers work in collaborative teams to share expertise, pool resources and plan innovative programs.  Because of AIS’ commitment to best practices and professional learning, working within this collaborative model allows teachers greater access to new research and teaching methods, which they can then incorporate into curricula and their own teaching styles. AIS teachers are avid participants in our learning community, consistently honing and refining their art as educators. The result of this engagement is a palpable energy that infuses the school and promotes a school-wide passion for learning.  In the AIS community, teachers act as mentors when sharing areas of expertise and in turn continually seek out the knowledge of others to promote their own learning.  Reflecting on and re-examining methods, programs and philosophy, is a hallmark of AIS’ dynamic teaching community.

Teachers at AIS create learning communities in the classroom and the broader community.  They are experts at cultivating an environment in which students take risks, work hard and celebrate the learning process.  With students and their families, AIS teachers listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions and effectively communicate.
