Curriculum
The AICS is an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School; in Secondary School we work with the IB Middle Years Programme, IB Diploma Programme and the IB Careers-related Programme.
Students first follow the Middle Years Programme (MYP). After successfully completing this five-year programme with a MYP certificate, students enrol either in the Diploma Programme (DP) or Careers-related Programme (CP). The DP and CP run for the last two years in Secondary School.
The aim of these programmes is to develop active learners and internationally minded people, who, recognising their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better, more peaceful world.
IB learners, our students, strive to be inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced and reflective[1]. These are all included in the IB Learners Profile, which we use as a guideline in educating our students.

The Career-related Programme (CP) is designed for students interested in pursuing a career-related (vocational) education in the final two years of Secondary School.
Flex 3 class - (pilot) extension of the Fireflies programme in Primary school
In 2024, we opened a Flex classroom for the first time in the secondary school where we accommodate students with complex learning profiles who are not able to fully access the MYP programme. The Flex 3 class is a secondary extension of the Fireflies and is a pilot programme.
In the coming years we aim to:
- Assess the viability of the Flex 3 class and the profile of the students who will be able to access this education.
- Develop a meaningful curriculum in order to support the students into the next phase of their life.
- Work with the IB and other organisations to develop suitable recognition for the students when they leave the school.
- Developing meaningful partnerships with local organisations to support the students in their learning.
