Covid-19 Protocols
COVID 19 - Current Policy
Last updated april 2022
AISL COVID19 policy reflects our best understanding to date about opening the school campus and returning to learning. This policy also reflects AISL’s commitment to prioritize the health and safety of our students and faculty/staff. Since learning is inherently a social experience, we believe that students learn best when they have the opportunity to engage with their teachers and classmates in real time, in person, and on campus.
As we resume school amidst the global pandemic, we will continue to uphold the following principles:
-
We will act with fidelity to our mission, vision, and core values. (e.g. strong commitment/preference to in-person learning).
-
Establishing a safe and healthy learning environment on campus is our top priority.
-
We have a shared responsibility to stay safe and mitigate the risk of community spread on campus by following recommended health and hygiene guidelines and protocols.

Adjusted Mask Protocol
In light of the significant downtrend in the positivity rate in Lagos and guidelines recently released by Nigeria’s Covid 19 Presidential Steering Committee, AISL will move to a “mask optional” model for wearing masks inside of buildings/classrooms for students only. Beginning Monday, April 11th , mask wearing in indoor classrooms and spaces will be optional for students.
Please note that parents and visitors who enter campus will be required to wear a mask in indoor settings.

AISL Core Value: Respect
With this significant change, I would like to emphasize that all students should feel comfortable with whatever option they choose, and no student should be made to feel like they should or should not wear a mask. We should all support and respect individual decisions around the wearing of masks.
Notes:
- Under the adjusted mask guidelines, AISL retains the authority to impose a universal mask mandate if there is a local outbreak or if there is evidence of community transmission of the virus on campus.
- AISL may mandate masks indoors for both students and adults during the last 2 weeks of school in order to reduce the risk of transmission and support international travel.
