DEFINITION OF ‘HIGH QUALITY’ LEARNING

LEARNING IS ESSENTIAL TRANSFORMATION

Learning is both a process and a product, deeply intertwined with and ingrained in our human uniqueness. As individual learners, we grow continuously by interacting with our environment in a way that changes us.

At AIS we believe in inquiry based learning, challenging and supporting learners to construct their understanding. We foster natural curiosity and encourage the pursuit of knowledge both individually and as a group. Students’ conceptual understandings and competencies are at the centre of this dynamic process

As such, we endorse the IB Learner Profile and the NEASC ACE Learning Principles.
