Founded in 1967, Antwerp International School (AIS) offers a student-centered, comprehensive English language education (IPC, IGCSE, IB Diploma) to children from 2½ - 18 years old. The school year runs from mid-August to mid-June. Our student body consists of 450-500 students from over 40 nationalities. A holistic and personalized approach in a small-class setting with an overall teacher-student ratio of 1:9 allows students to build a friendly yet respectful relationship with their teachers and with each other. AIS encourages students to think creatively and learn experientially, not only in the classroom, but also through a wide variety of activities such as sports, arts, theater and field trips.

Upon graduation, 95% of AIS students enter directly into a college/university in Belgium, the U.K., the Netherlands, the U.S, or many other countries. AIS is fully accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) as well as the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC); and was the first school to be accredited by CIS (formerly ECIS), and the first to receive three consecutive accreditations from this organization. Furthermore, as an advocate of 21st Century Learning and in order to provide the best learning environment for students, AIS has introduced a one-to-one Apple laptop program.

The facilities at AIS, which include 5 buildings with 45 classrooms, are modern, fitted for the latest technology, and always being improved and updated to meet the needs of students: Engaging classroom spaces, most fitted with Smart Boards Modern science labs A Wi-Fi campus Specialized facilities for the Early Childhood and Elementary School classes Learning support and English as an Additional Language (EAL) classrooms Counselors’ offices A newly renovated school library State-of-the-art Fine Arts facilities, including art and music studios and a theatre Top-quality sports facilities, including a new gymnasium complex Three outdoor playgrounds and a large indoor multi-purpose area A cafeteria serving nutritious hot and cold lunch options every day
