Welcome Back!
Form all of us in the PCA, we hope the summer was an excellent one. For our returning families, we hope each of you had time for friends and family - to "catch-up" and reminisce with each of those near and dear to us. For our new families, welcome to the AISC community. We look forward to creating new and lasting memories with each of you.

Message from the president .....
As we begin the 2015-2016 school calendar year, I want to take a few moments to reflect as to where we have been. We, as a School began with a figuratively "one-room" school. And today, we are residing on this lush beautiful, we call home now. Our community has grown organically, academically and culturally each new year and influx of members. This year was no less. I state this, as I reflect some words of one of my kids, "Mom, i'm going to miss my best friend. He has moved to Japan. the September holiday, can we go to Japan to visit him." My son learned about academics last year from his teachers and peers, but he learned culture through his friends. Because we are in such a rich environment he has learned to love Japan, because of his friend from there.
I wanted to state this to each of our parent new and returning. As you take on this year, take yourselves out of the main stream and learn about the culture around you and the world within the walls of AISC. We all come from some 30 countries, with each country having a different language and different manner of living. I urge you all to learn about a new country each month of your ten months of school here. Outside the walls of AISC, I urge each of you to learn a bit about India. A country whose history dates back over 5000 years. This land has 18+ different languages with some 180+ dialects of the language. Each state of this wonderful country is unique from food, to architecture to language. Though our family originated from India, we have never had the chance to travel India. When we arrived in Chennai, we took the map of India out and decided to book our holiday's to explore different areas of the country.
In short, what I am saying to you all is really to take the mission of our school and apply it to daily life. If you have not looked at the mission recently, here it is:
Together we inspire a love of learning, empowering all students with the courage, confidence, creativity and compassion to make their unique contribution in a diverse and dynamic world.
Let us as parents, inspire learning to our children through exploring and learning and appreciating the world around us. We can make this year an even more memorable one than last year.
