The American International School is a private, co-educational school in Hong Kong. Serving families from Hong Kong's local and international communities since 1986, it delivers an American standards-based educational programme for students from Early Childhood through to Grade 12. AIS nurtures, confident, caring, and well-rounded students who consistently secure placements in prestigious universities and colleges around the world. Our core values of justice, knowledge, and love foster the development of global citizens, empowered thinkers, and effective communicators who are prepared for a bright future.

AIS students benefit from a range of teaching styles and approaches that are progressive,
student-centered, and reflective of international best-practice. Our teachers continuously seek
ways to ensure our classrooms remain dynamic learning communities where the joy of learning,
achievement, and success is evident and celebrated. Our teachers are collegial, supportive and
eager to share. We expect our teachers to be lifelong learners eager to embrace opportunities for
ongoing professional development and training. All teachers are required to be effective in their
use of technology within the classroom.

Beyond the classroom, teachers at AIS willingly devote their time and energy to a variety of roles
and responsibilities expected in a high-quality school. Continuously looking for ways to help
students achieve their potential, teachers play important roles in extracurricular activities,
coaching, and school trips.
The classroom teacher is the first point of contact between home and school. Parents wishing to
contact a teacher directly should do so by school email. E-mail addresses for all members of staff
can be found on the faculty directory and the school’s website.
