Curriculum - Connecting learning to life
The AISC curriculum connects learning to life. A paramount goal of today’s education should be to foster and extend student’s understanding of their place in the modern world, and provide them with knowledge and skills which can be transferred to their everyday lives and future endeavors.
Although based on North American standards and pedagogy, the AISC curriculum strives to provide a ‘total’ international experience, not just the content for instruction. Our diverse students gain knowledge and understanding, develop skills, and refine attitudes and values through their interactions, connections and reflections which result from their total school experience. AISC develops students for life with a developmental and progressive program that increases student independence for learning and achievement as they progress from early childhood through grade 12.
The school follows an international curriculum from pre-kindergarten through grade 8 after which students may pursue their program at AISC with the Independent Study High School curriculum of the University of Nebraska.
AISC has recently completed writing a comprehensive curriculum and is in the process of aligning this curriculum to internationally recognized standards, namely the AERO Standards. These standards were developed by international school teachers specifically for international schools. By adopting these standards we have standardized our curriculum with many other schools worldwide thus ensuring that the children who transfer from AISC will find little trouble making the transition to the expectations of their new school.
