The COVID19 pandemic caused the entire world to turn upside down. AIS was no exception. Faced with the sudden closing of the campus on March 16th, 2020, AIS had to act and respond quickly to ensure learning continuity. Our teachers had one day to meet and work on procedures and plans, then they were online for the next three months. During those months, the administration attended webinars, researched and created new guidelines and expectations for teachers, parents and students.
AIS Distance Learning is based on live stream sessions to ensure interaction between the students and teachers, as well as pre-recorded video lessons to ensure students can access lessons at any time convenient to the family.
The Ministry of Education has now approved AIS's hybrid learning plan which consists of 4 days of on-campus classes, with one day, Wednesday, online. The implementation of this plan depends upon Ciudad Vieja being in orange. In this model, limited sports and extra-curricular activities are offered, students will bring their own lunches to campus and no bus service is provided.
When Ciudad Vieja is in green, AIS will reopen its campus entirely and offer full time, 5 days per week in-person learning for elementary and secondary students. Regular extra-curricular activities will be provided, students must bring their own lunches and parents are able to reserve bus services.
