Atlanta International School. Developing Courageous Leaders Who Shape Their World For The Better

Atlanta International School (AIS) offers a comprehensive and challenging International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, enhanced with a world-class language acquisition program, from two beautiful campuses.

Day students from 3K to Grade 12 attend the AIS Buckhead campus while AIS Sandy Springs provides 7 and 5 day boarding, and flexible learning places for Grades 9 to 12. Both welcoming campuses attract families from around the world, the US and Atlanta.

Offering an authentic, nurturing, community, AIS students are focused on developing the skills to creatively collaborate on the challenges of the future and are equipped to become changemakers.

Faculty from around the world are focused on genuinely getting to know and value every student and their unique skills and strengths. The result is a spirit of community and a celebration of the diversity of perspectives that come from students, families, faculty, and staff representing 90 nationalities and over 65 languages.

A full immersion preschool program for children ages three and four is offered in German, French, Chinese and Spanish. From 5K through Grade 5, the inquiry-based IB curriculum is taught in two languages. All faculty are either native speakers or of bilingual proficiency in the language they teach.

Students not only learn at least one other language, they learn through language, developing so much more than linguistic proficiency. At AIS students develop intercultural competence, the ability to easily navigate and flow between and among different nationalities and complex cultural situations - and to do so with tremendous empathy, diplomacy and respect for others.

Students entering Secondary School have varied language backgrounds from beginner to those taking Language & Literature and Humanities courses at an advanced level, many choosing to pursue dual language IB Diplomas.

The curriculum is complemented by an extensive range of age-appropriate activities to enhance students' learning experiences beyond the classroom.

The athletics department is home to more than 40 teams pursuing 12 different sports as well as the prestigious tennis center, the Mouratoglou Academy Atlanta.

Theatrical and musical talent is showcased via regular performances alongside frequent art exhibitions.

In Secondary School, in addition to internships that students complete as part of a STEM or STEAM Diploma endorsement, students participate in many other activities including service projects, Model United Nations, Mock Trial, the AIS Space Program, Robotics and educational international trips.

Parents, alumni, faculty, staff and students actively participate in the growth and sustainability of the school, with community firmly at the center of all activities. The result is a pioneering and courageous spirit built upon local impact and global reach.
