Dear Families and Students,
Last night I attended the 21C Greater Bay Area Awards at the Hong Kong Convention Centre. It was a wonderful evening, where schools across the Greater Bay Area were recognized for their outstanding achievement and excellence in education.
The final award of the evening, the Public Choice Award, was received by American International School where we placed first across all award categories for our outstanding efforts to promote and empower Student Agency K-12. Check out our winning submission here!
I am deeply proud of our TECHsperts, our faculty, and our Learning Activator, Mr. Green, for forging a new, innovative pathway that allows our students to truly lead and make a meaningful difference in our school community. This special recognition acknowledges this unique program that AIS has developed, and, equally important, ensures that it is shared with other schools in the GBA and beyond, positively impacting the opportunities students receive in other schools.
I would like to thank Ms. Abel, our Director of Learning Innovation, for supporting the work of our faculty and students as they implement a range of exciting curricular opportunities that deepen learning and enhance practice. I also wish to thank Mr. Ankul Sidana, one of our outstanding High School TECHsperts, who attended the ceremony and accepted the award on our behalf. Thanks also goes out to our PTA for promoting the award across our school community and, finally, to our parents, faculty, students, and staff who made this recognition possible.
Together, we make a difference.
My best,
Anita Simpson
Head of School
