Welcome. for our current families, I hope that this site can be your number #1 stop for up-to-date information on what is happening at the school as well as a place to find information about policies and procedures for almost everything that we do. If there is something that you are looking for and can’t find here, please don’t hesitate to tell me in order for us to make the AISL website as comprehensive and transparent as possible. For our prospective students and parents, we hope this site gives you an idea of the student-centered culture that comes through everything that we do.
This includes learning with integrity, caring for human kind, and working one’s hardest no matter the endeavor: academics, sports, community service, leadership and beyond.
Moreover, we hope you get an impression of the amount of fun we Leopards have at school. Our host country is a dynamic place where smiles and laughter are the signature of its people. AISL is a reflection of the Zambian zest for life. Our high quality instruction and learning is exciting and infused with authenticity.

"This year I undertook the new internship program that has been developed at AISL. When signing up for this program I did not realise the impact that it would have on me and the lessons that it has taught me. I learned about what it's like to have a commitment that is not school or sports related and how to arrange and manage my time every week. For this experience, I can take away ideas of what I would like to do in later life. This program is a great way to explore possible opportunities while also having guidance and support." |
Language Arts instruction at AISL is based upon the principle that the use of authentic texts and the application of language in non-artificial situations yields students who can write honestly and clearly; and respond to literature in a personal and critical fashion. Language Arts is taught using a spiraling curriculum in which skills are introduced and consistently reinforced throughout different year groups. Attention is given to the writing process, which involves the five stages of prewriting, drafting, revising, editing and publishing. Great emphasis is placed on ‘student centered’ or ‘active’ learning and students are required to take an active part in their own assessment in the form of regular self-appraisals. Students study five genres throughout the year: novel, short story, drama, poetry and non-fiction, and media. The program is coordinated with other disciplines and the Global Contexts.

Visual Arts
In the visual arts program, students learn techniques for drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography and ceramics. In addition, students learn about social commentary and art history to inform their own artwork. Students develop visual awareness through critiques of their own art and the art of others. Students exhibit their art at least once per semester in grades 6-10. |
Drama
Students work collaboratively to learn the craft but, more importantly, to learn about their own strengths and their ever-changing role inside the group. Students have plenty of opportunity to participate in dramatic productions several times a year, either as an actor or by being involved in lighting, sets, and sound. |
We offer a wide range of activities in the Physical Health Education program to develop positive attitudes toward health and fitness and to develop skills that apply to a wide range of sporting activities both within and outside the school environment. Developing effective teamwork skills is a fundamental aspect of Physical Health Education.
Our after-school program offers a wide range of outdoor and indoor activities and we encourage students to participate in at least two outdoor/team sports or activities per year as we believe that a healthy body goes hand in hand with a healthy mind. |
