Thank you for a great year!

Another great school year has passed. What started as a tiny school in Roma in 1986 has blossomed into a world-class international school with more than 500 students. We now offer the most robust academic and extracurricular program of any school in Zambia and are increasingly taking on regional significance.       
 
This growth and development flows from our commitment to teach the whole child. Of course we dedicate ourselves to a strong academic program but we do not stop there. We also strive to support students in social, emotional, and physical health along with artistic expression, service to the community, and a commitment to leadership. Furthermore, we are committed more than ever to looking for ways to include, engage, and challenge as diverse a range of learners as possible. Students who graduate from AISL are ready and able to face the varied challenges of the 21st Century.

This year was another exciting one. We continued to develop our band and choir, produced three school plays, six coffee houses, various music and drama nights, and multiple arts exhibitions. We hosted the first ever AMIS festival in Africa. Our After School Activity (ASA) program offered more than sixty individual activities in each season.  We fielded more than 60 teams that participated in more than 100 fixtures and tournaments. Along the way, our students won four ISSEA championships, eight LISL championships, three ISAZ national titles, and more than 15 ISAZ regional titles.  Our students traveled on at least fifteen international trips, seven Explore Zambia trips, and numerous sports trips within Lusaka or as far away as the Copperbelt. They also participated in more than two dozen individual student-led service projects. We had brilliant school-wide Zambia Day and WorldFest! celebrations. Two visiting authors, Erica Perl and Samm Farai Monro inspired our students and helped to improve their writing. And there is so much more. Best of all, we did all of these things while never losing focus on our day to day commitment to offer a world-class academic program!

I am honored to serve as the eighth Director of AISL. This is a very special school blessed with excellent teachers, great students, and an involved and supportive community. I sincerely hope that you have enjoyed your time at AISL this year. If you are leaving us, I wish you the very best of luck on your new adventure. If you are staying, I look forward to working with you again next year. Either way, always remember that once you are a Leopard, you are always a Leopard!
 
School will reopen on 8 August. Have a great vacation! ​

Sincerely,

Russ Menard
