Director's Welcome

Welcome to the American International School of Lusaka (AISL)

Greetings, and thank you for visiting the website of the American International School of Lusaka (AISL). Nestled on a secure and picturesque 25-acre campus on the outskirts of Lusaka, we proudly offer Zambia’s most comprehensive academic and co-curricular programs.

Since our founding in 1986, AISL has been dedicated to providing a world-class international education in Zambia. Our approach transcends local boundaries, as we benchmark our programs, faculty, facilities, and student outcomes against the highest standards of top international schools across the region, with a focus on environmental sustainability. A visit to our campus will quickly reveal this commitment in action.

At AISL, we are more than a school – we are a vibrant, inclusive community. Our vision is to ensure that every student thrives, and our diverse, highly-qualified faculty from around the world works tirelessly to make this vision a reality. They challenge students academically while nurturing their physical, social, and emotional well-being. Together with our engaged parent community, we cultivate an environment where students develop a deep appreciation for Zambia’s rich culture and celebrate the diversity of over 40 nationalities represented on our campus.

The future leaders in diplomacy, business, education, and science are learning and growing with us today and we encourage student leadership and voice in all decisions.

For more information or to schedule a visit, please reach out to our Admissions Manager, Ms. Natasha Chalikulima, at admissions@aislusaka.org. We are proud of what AISL offers and would be delighted to share it with you.
