‘Founded in 1962, and based on Christian values, the school fosters understanding and reconciliation, welcoming students of all faiths or none’.

The Anglican International School Jerusalem offers a unique experience to young people where students find themselves in a safe, happy and caring environment where a deep mutual respect and a love of learning lie at the heart of all we do.

AISJ is owned and operated by CMJ-Israel (the Church's Ministry to the Jewish People), a charitable trust or “amutah” registered with the government of Israel. AISJ is authorised by the International Baccalaureate Organization and is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, USA. The Elementary School (Early years – P5) follows the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). The Secondary School follows the MYP (Middle Years Programme for G6-10) and the IBDP (International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for G11 12).

The school is inclusive and takes children of all abilities. International students from AISJ have been admitted to the most prestigious universities in Europe and the USA (Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, Yale, New York, Harvard, & St. Andrews). Local students have been admitted to the Hebrew University and Haifa Technion. We take pride in the different intelligences of ALL our students and we are confident that at AISJ they are fully equipped to make their contribution to the world as responsible global citizens.
