Academics

It is our belief that students need to be active participants in their own learning. Our focus is on developing students who are well-rounded citizens of the world.

"I have seen my students become more balanced inquirers, risk takers, and principled human beings through the IB program here. My IB students always come back after higher education and employment and share how the program paved their way towards success." ~IB Teacher

Activities

The aim of the art program is to encourage students to discover new ways of meeting intellectual and artistic challenges.

"AIS - West has offered the opportunity for creativity for my son in so many ways. The variety of activities offered as well as their nature has pushed my son to spread his wings and discover his talents in more ways than I could wish for." ~ AIS West Parent

Autobiography

My name is Karam Mardini.

Most of you have seen me behind a camera the past four years as our school photographer. Before becoming the school photographer/videographer, I took courses, live and online, with world famous photographers to gain knowledge and experience. Plus, I completed Photoshop courses with the AIS - West Yearbook Coordinator, Ms. Mayada Magdy. My target is to preserve memories and make moments unforgettable, no matter where or what I am shooting.

AIS - West is the first step in my career as a photographer/videographer, so I’ll never forget it. The experience I gained here really helped me find myself. And for that, I am always thankful to the AIS - West family for all they have done for me and for giving me the opportunity to grow and improve. I will always look back at my 8+ years here with pride and gratitude.
