Antwerp International School

Geschiedenis

The Antwerp International School (AIS) was founded in 1967 and is located in the leafy, residential suburb of Ekeren, only ten kilometers north of the center of Antwerp in Flanders, Belgium. AIS offers a student-centered, comprehensive English language education (IPC, IGCSE, IB Diploma) to children from the age of 2½ years to 18 years old, where the development of critical thinking skills is emphasized. Enrichment at AIS includes a wide variety of extra-curricular activities in the arts, theater, sports and much more. Our student body consists of 400 students from over 40 nationalities. A holistic and personalized approach in a small class setting allows students to build a friendly, yet respectful relationship with their teachers and with their peers.

Upon graduation, over 95% of AIS students enter directly into a college or university in Belgium, the U.K., the Netherlands, the U.S. and many other countries. AIS is fully accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) as well as the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). AIS was the first school to be accredited by CIS and the first in the world to receive five consecutive accreditations from this organization.

In addition to academic excellence, AIS also serves as a focus where students, families and teachers can socialize and embrace the extensive cultural experiences available to the school community. AIS is a school people call “home away from home”.
