American International School of Bucharest

School Philosophy
The American International School of Bucharest is a multicultural and international learning community located in Romania. English is the principal language of instruction. We offer students the best of the American and International education traditions, as well as the benefits of access to the rich culture and heritage of Romania. A rigorous curriculum, based on the International Baccalaureate Primary Years, Middle Years, and Diploma Programs, prepares students for success in universities worldwide.

The school provides a safe learning environment that encourages critical thinking and risk taking, and engenders a love of learning. An emphasis upon enquiry, teamwork, mutual respect, and collaboration is balanced by sensitivity to the needs of individuals and to their varying learning styles.

AISB promotes a healthy and well-balanced perspective on life with a mix of curricular and co-curricular activities that reach beyond the classroom into the community. We are committed to preparing students for a life of responsible world citizenship able to meet the challenges of an increasingly complex Twenty First Century.
