Our Kindergarten Students

The AISC KG3/KG4 and KG5 programs address the social and emotional needs of each child. A positive self-image is fundamental for all children. Helping children feel confident about themselves, their ideas, as well as their abilities, are central to our beliefs.  The AISC Early Childhood centre is a place for students to explore, discover and develop self worth.

Our Early Childhood Programs

The KG5 is a full day program and an exciting  time for students at The American International School in Cyprus. Students are actively engaged a curriculum-based program in literacy, mathematics, social studies and science project-based activities.  Projects help them explore their world. Creativity and exploration of interests in order to develop a love for learning is paramount. Students are building cities with blocks, creating their own music with instruments and setting up restaurants to sell their special creations. The dress up centre helps them to be imaginary kings and queens in order to act out their own stories.

Our 3 B’s

The American International School in Cyprus’ code of behavior for elementary students centers on the three ‘B’s. At the start of each school year, the children explore the three ‘B’s with their classroom community and identify their importance whether on a school bus, at Big Toy, in the cafeteria, or in the classroom.

The three ‘B’s are:

  • Be Respectful
  • Be Kind
  • Be Responsible
