Our Staff

At AIS the teachers want to get to know each student, to recognise and be fully aware of their strengths and weaknesses, likes and interests, in and outside of the classroom. Our responsibility is to educate, inspire and encourage each individual pupil to reach their potential.
AIS classes have a maximum of twelve children; this in itself is a massive advantage as it ensures individualised attention for every pupil. The rate of learning, the comprehensive coverage of the curriculum and most importantly the time given by our teachers to understand each student and their learning style is invaluable in the education process.
