Job Description

ABOUT OUR SCHOOL

Our mission at AIS is to develop courageous leaders who shape their world for the better. All AIS employees believe deeply in the potential of each student, value critical thinking (their own and students’) and know learning can be fun and exciting. AIS offers an incredible spirit of community and diversity of perspectives that come from students, families, and employees representing more than 90 nationalities and over 60 languages.

AISx is an innovative program, launched in 2023, designed to provide flexible academic programs for those students who desire a more personalized academic schedule. In addition to college preparatory Honors level classes, AISx offers Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses in a blended delivery of in-person, remote and asynchronous learning. Our challenging academic programs develop internationally-minded, critical-thinking students able to take complex and often disparate knowledge, concepts and skills and forge these into new and unique ways of solving problems. We provide a rigorous education that focuses on leadership and sustainability in a diverse, multicultural, multilinguistic community.

In-person learning takes place at our new Sandy Springs campus. This wonderful 25 acre campus on the banks of the Chattahoochee river, provides the ideal environment for experiential, hands-on and project-based learning.
