Graduation & Beyond

The American International School (AIS), Hong Kong, prepares students for life beyond school. AIS has a proud tradition of excellent university placements for our graduating classes, with destinations from around the world, including the USA, Canada, the UK, Europe, Hong Kong, Asia, and Australia.

At AIS, our Core Values (Justice, Knowledge, and Love) and our Learning Model (where learning is designed to be Social, Personal and Applied) serve as the foundation for all learning experiences. Together with an emphasis on our Expected School-Wide Learning Results (Global Citizens, Effective Communicators, Empowered Thinkers, and Well-Rounded Individuals), our students develop their academic skills and character.

At the center of our Future Framework lies our key outcome – Confidence. Fostering student confidence is key to our students’ success, and growing confidence is intentionally integrated into the comprehensive university and career guidance program that students at AIS receive via the Guidance Counseling and Homeroom Advisory Program at our school.

One of the key components of this program is helping students while they research and plan for their university admissions process. The school supports students every step of the way, from exploration towards matriculation to post-secondary opportunities. Information sessions and university seminars are regularly offered to both students and families, and individual meetings with the High School Counselor personalizes the process. Through an individualized and supportive approach with students, and by fostering strong connections with and regular access to universities, counselors work closely with their students to reach best-fit outcomes and post-secondary success.

UNIVERSITY ACCEPTANCES

It is with great pleasure that that our AIS graduates have been accepted by many of the most prestigious universities around the world. We are incredibly proud of our students and their achievements, and we are always excited to see what the future holds for them.

Each year, we develop our AIS High School Profile that includes information about our curriculum, grading system, grade distribution, average test scores, and university acceptances. Our profile tells colleges and universities how rigorous and competitive we are, and this information impacts the way universities will evaluate our students’ grades and course selection.

The warmest and most affectionate community.

Although AIS does not feature the largest community, this community without a doubt is the warmest and most affectionate community I have ever been in.

The best high school life I could ask for.

AIS wasn't just a place of integrating knowledge. It was a place with great friends and teachers who provided me with the best high school life I could ask for. I regret moments not fully appreciating the warm atmosphere within these red brick walls.

Close-knit community that lends beauty to our school.

Out of all the lessons I've learnt at the American International School, the paramount lesson must certainly be the ability to love. Many may criticize AIS for its humble size; yet, it is exactly the close-knit community that lends beauty to our school.

The spirit of cooperation at AIS has helped me grow.

It was no accident being at AIS. The spirit of cooperation at AIS has helped me grow. I want to thank AIS for providing me opportunities to explore my potential.

Friends and teachers became family.

I miss AIS because friends and teachers became family at the end. Teachers took really good care of students. And the students that I met then are still my best friends now. I also miss the Cultural Fair too.

AIS is truly like a family.

Thank you AIS for giving me many worthwhile moments in AIS. AIS is truly like a family and I’m sure this kind of connection between students-to-students and students-to-teachers cannot be easily found.

I want to relive Adventure Weeks with everyone again!

The deans were always there to talk about anything, whether it be school-related or not. I want to relive Adventure Weeks with everyone again! My advice to younger students is enjoy your time at AIS. It may not seem like the best of times, but really, it IS!

ALEX C.

Class of 2013

Tight bonds and relationships bring out the best of AIS.

I’ll miss AIS because it’s been like another family for me for the past 7 years. The community is so small that everyone would know anyone and the tight bonds and relationships bring out the best of AIS.

SARAH L.

Class of 2012

I thank AIS for being such an important part of my life.

I thank AIS for being such an important part of my life. The teachers and students here have truly changed my life and made who I am today. I'm truly grateful for that.
