Congratulations to our AIS Class of 2022!
We are exceptionally proud of the members of the Class of 2022, not only for their accomplishments, but for their adaptability and determination as they adjusted to various schedules and modes of learning. Their determination in working towards graduation while pursuing their post-secondary goals, despite these challenges, is commendable. Members of the class of 2022 have not only survived but thrived in the face of these challenges.
Their individual and collective efforts have been fruitful and resulted in an impressive variety of post-secondary plans. The diversity of AIS’s student body and post-secondary pathways is something to be celebrated. Families choose AIS to provide their children with an international education and an international experience. Being a Global Citizen, one of AIS’s Expected Schoolwide Learning Results (ESLRs), is apparent in the inclusive school environment, dedicated service, and the diversity of our student body.
Students from the Class of 2022 are truly global citizens who have thoroughly explored their higher education options around the world. As a cohort, they applied to fifteen different regional systems, including Australia, Canada, Cyprus, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Macao, Netherlands, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and the United States. In addition, approximately 76 percent of the senior cohort applied to two or more regional systems and, on average, submitted eight university applications.
