High School

Preparation for career and university starts in high school. Grade 10 students take a  comprehensive career assessment (Morrisby Assessment), and they are advised by the Middle School/High School Counselor, the IBDP Coordinator, and their teachers  in choosing the appropriate IB DP program subjects for Grades 11 and 12. 

The University/Career Advisor meets with all students and on occasion, parents, to advise and guide them through the university application process (or other post-secondary opportunities). Read more about how this service prepares our students for a successful future here.

The GOA is an international consortium of leading independent schools that offers rigorous online courses and unites behind a common mission: to reimagine learning to empower students and educators to thrive in a globally networked society. GOA provides Grades 9-12 students with  the opportunity to take a variety of highly engaging and  interesting elective courses. Through GOA, AISL students have the unique opportunity to connect with other students from around the world. 
 

The Advisory Program is a support system designed to help students feel a sense of belonging and connection to the High School. Each student is assigned to a teacher/ advocate who is responsible for overseeing that student's total performance and involvement in the High School. This program is enriched through lessons and special programs focused on self concept/identity, relationship building, child protection, responsible decision making, conflict resolution, service learning, etc. 

The High School  has a vibrant co-curricular program designed to meet the passions, interests and needs of students. Each semester, High  School students have an opportunity to participate in a variety of after school activities, which include competitive athletics,  games, digital media, art, drama, and music.

The High School is committed to supporting the learning needs of all students. Our Student Support Service Program-  English for Academic Purposes, Learning Support, Counseling-  ensures that all students have equitable access to learning and opportunities to set goals and pursue different pathways to achieve goals. Through an inclusive and nurturing educational environment, students are encouraged to become independent, lifelong learners in a global society.

Service learning is integrated into the high school curriculum. Students have an opportunity to work with their peers, teachers, and advisors on projects that have a positive positive impact on the school campus as well as local and global communities. Through service learning, our high school students understand what it means to create a just and sustainable world. 

Students use technology in the High School to amplify learning and increase their abilities to communicate, collaborate, express themselves creatively, think critically, and solve problems. Students leverage technology- hardware and applications- to enhance their understanding of content areas, connect to their learning community, and understand the world around them. Students are creators of content, not just consumers of content, finding original ways to demonstrate their learning through new tools. High School students also learn what it means to be a responsible digital citizen.
