AISL Merit-Scholar Assessment Day

On Tuesday, AISL conducted an assessment day as part of the process of selecting merit-scholars to join our high school in August 2021. Candidates spent the day taking MAP tests in reading and mathematics, producing some creative writing, presenting a show-and-tell, and touring the school.

The AISL Merit-Scholar Selection Committee will meet next week to determine which candidates will go through to the next stage: the home visit round.
The Merit-Scholar Program at AISL has been running since 2014. Eight Zambian students have graduated from AISL, and eight others are in our grades 9-12. Of those who have graduated, four attend, or have graduated from, international universities having received full scholarships (New York University Abu Dhabi, St. John’s University, New Mexico, and SOKO University of America, California). Three AISL Merit-Scholar graduates attend university in Zambia (University of Zambia and University of Lusaka). One is taking a gap year gaining experience in the field of biochemistry.
