Dear Community,

New Parent Orientation, Monday, January 25th 3:45-4:45 p.m.

Your children may be seeing some new faces in their AISC classes! Over the next few weeks, AISC is welcoming about 50 new students to our 2020-2021 school year - including twenty-one 'new-to-AISC' families.

We will greet our newest parents at this virtual New Parent Orientation afterschool coffee. We will share school resources and information, as well as spend some time to get to know one another. Whether this is your first year, or you have been here for many years, we extend an invitation to all.

Storytrails, Thursday February 4, 3:45-4:45 pm


We always hear about the British taking away so many things from Colonial India. But there were many Englishmen who loved India, and badly wanted to study its ancient past. And some of their discoveries here have actually allowed us to know more about this country.

Have you heard about the Englishman who accidentally discovered the oldest known collection of Buddhist art? Or of the Englishman who helped Indians decode the ancient Brahmi script? 

Join us as we explore stories of archaeological finds that solved some of India’s ancient mysteries.
