Mission Statement

At AISL, a partnership of educators and parents commits to providing our culturally diverse students a safe, supportive, and respectful learning environment.

We enrich the spirit by... Enriching our program with art, drama, music, French, and physical development; emphasizing creative thinking; promoting students' self-esteem and success; and making students feel safe, supported, and respected.
We engage the heart by... Building a partnership between parents, teachers, and students; respecting humanity; appreciating individual differences, and honoring diversity of culture, religion, race, language, and thinking.
