American International School of Bucharest (AISB)
The American International School of Bucharest (AISB) is a top IB school in Bucharest that welcomes students of all nationalities from early childhood to grade 12. It started in 1962 and has a school year with two semesters, running from late August to mid-June.
AISB offers an international curriculum in English tailored to the international student community in Bucharest. Students can pursue the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma in grades 11-12, the IB Middle Years Program (MYP) in grades 6-10, and the IB Primary Years Program (PYP) in grades EC3-5. In the Early Learning Center (ELC), they incorporate educational ideas from Reggio Emilia, connecting them with the PYP (IBO).
The school has specialists in various subjects like art, drama, film, physical education, music, design, computers, Spanish, and French, catering to different grade levels. AISB also has a Learning Support program for students with mild to moderate learning and social-emotional/behavioral needs. If necessary, Learning Support specialists collaborate with teachers to provide personalized instruction, accommodations, and a modified curriculum. Students in this program have Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs).
For ongoing 1:1 support, families can arrange a Learning Intervention Focused Tutor (LIFT) at their expense. The school holds the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) accreditation. It is authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IB) for the IB Primary Years, Middle Years, and Diploma Programs.
AISB encourages students to engage in eight seasonal sports: basketball, cross-country, football, softball, swimming, tennis, track & field, and volleyball. Through participation in SCIS (Sports Council of International Schools), students have opportunities for local matches and tournaments in BISAAC (Bucharest International Schools Athletics & Activities Conference) and with Romanian schools and clubs. They also get to experience international travel opportunities.
