As shared in an email on Monday, August 12.
Each year the Board of Directors, along with the school leadership, considers many factors when creating and approving the Annual Calendar. These include, among other things, compliance with and sensitivity to local and national holidays, alignment with Board policy, the spacing and timing of holidays, planning for faculty professional development, and planning for 180 school days.
The Board of Directors had its first meeting of 2019-2020 on Saturday, August 10. As part of that meeting, the Board reviewed the 2019-2020 Annual Calendar. Necessary changes to this year’s Annual Calendar were voted upon and approved.
The following local holidays will be observed as no school days this year:
~Monday, September 2, Vinayakar Chaturthi
~Monday, October 7, Ayudha Pooja
~Tuesday, April 14, Tamil New Year
The following days will be school days this year:
~Friday, February 14
~Monday, May 4
~Thursday, June 4
In future years, these local holidays will be taken into account in our annual calendar planning.
Expect further communication from principals regarding any specific calendar/scheduling updates that might result from these changes.

Learn English with Jaya
Are you interested in improving your English skills? If you are, join the Adult English classes which are held at AISC three times a week by Jaya Shanker. We will focus on speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Many classes will be discussion-based on real-life situations where we will talk about various topics, including local cultural issues.
InterChange, which is a Cambridge program, will be used in all the classes. It is an integrated four-skills course for adults who want to use English to communicate effectively in daily life.
The courses will be taught at three levels. They will be held on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The timings are below and will be on a weekly rotation:
Come and join the classes and learn English in a fun and interesting way in a non-stressful, safe environment. If you would like to join, please get in touch with the Main Office. They will guide you and answer any questions you may have. The fees will remain the same as last year (Rs. 28,000/-) and you will pay the cashier. Please feel free to email me with any questions or concerns you may have at jaya.shanker@gmail.com.
Classes will begin on Monday, August 19, 2019 @ 9:00 in MC 11. Last day of class will be on Wednesday, May 27, 2020.
***Please Note: Classes on the first day, (Monday, August 19) will be only 60 minutes as it will be an introductory class. Regular class timings will resume from Tuesday, August 20.
