American International School of Bucharest (AISB) is a leading IB school in Eastern Europe, welcoming students of all nationalities from early childhood to Year 12 since 1962. The academic year is divided into two terms, from late August to mid-June.
AISB provides an international English curriculum tailored to the diverse student community in Bucharest. Students can study the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma in Years 11-12, the IB Middle Years Program (MYP) in Years 6-10 and the IB Primary Years Program (PYP) in Years EC3-5. The Early Learning Center (ELC) incorporates educational ideas from Reggio Emilia, connecting them to the PYP (IBO).
The school has specialists in various subjects such as art, drama, film, sports, music, design, computers, Spanish and French, catering for different age groups. AISB has a Learning Support program for students with mild to moderate learning and social-emotional/behavioural needs. Learning Support Specialists work with teachers to provide personalized instruction, accommodations, and a modified curriculum and create Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs) for students in this program.
Families can arrange ongoing 1:1 support through a Learning Intervention Focused Tutor (LIFT) at their expense. AISB holds accreditation from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and is authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IB) for the IB Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programs.
AISB encourages students to participate in eight seasonal sports: basketball, cross country, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field, and volleyball. Through SCIS (Sports Council of International Schools), students have opportunities for local matches and tournaments in BISAAC (Bucharest International Schools Athletics & Activities Conference) and with Romanian schools and clubs, providing international travel experiences.
