Student Achievement and Character
Strategic Plan 2001-2005
Students will be prepared to successfully complete the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma programme, will be well prepared for admission to highly selective colleges and universities worldwide, and will become at least communicatively proficient in two or more languages. They will model the attitudes as described by the International Baccalaureate and the core values of AIS. Students who leave AIS prior to graduation will be prepared to transfer successfully to other international or national schools.
Goals
- School-wide, student performance on individual IB subject exams and the IB diploma pass rate will be equal to or above AIS benchmark schools (local, national, and international).
- Individual student Educational Records Bureau (ERB) results will improve on average, over time, and each student will reach target achievement level in writing within three years of his or her enrollment at AIS. Grade-level wide ERB results will, on average, meet or exceed average independent school norms.
- Students, individually and collectively, will develop and model the character traits and attitudes described by the IB Primary Years Programme and the core values of AIS.
- Students will achieve an average SAT math score equivalent to or better than the average scores of AIS benchmarks. They will maintain or improve the current average verbal scores, which exceed those of AIS benchmarks.
- Students will demonstrate a commitment to balanced self-development –- intellectual, moral and physical –- through dedicated participation and leadership in athletics, the arts and service to others.
- The rate at which AIS seniors are admitted to highly selective colleges, universities and programs within a college or university worldwide will be equivalent to or better than that of AIS benchmarks.
- Student language proficiency level goals will be met at key grade levels.
- Each student will pass a core Information Technology and Research skills assessment prior to entering grade six and prior to entering grade eleven.
