General Information

AISD is a multi-cultural institution with a curriculum based on the principles of American education. The school was established with the primary purpose to provide a quality education for the expatriate children living in Bangladesh. Having said that, the school warmly welcomes a limited number of students from our host country. The school makes every effort to accommodate growth in enrollment demand by following flexible and responsive staffing and building policies and practices.

AISD considers an "expatriate student" to be one who holds a non-Bangladeshi passport with a valid Bangladesh visa and is living with one or more parent who also holds a non-Bangladeshi passport and a valid Bangladeshi visa. Given the close and important relationship that the school has with the United States Embassy in Bangladesh, children of all U.S. Government employees, in Grades Kindergarten through Twelve, whose fees are paid by the U.S. Government and who meet the school's entrance requirements, will be admitted automatically to the school. In Pre-Kindergarten, children of all U.S. Government employees, whose fees would normally be paid by the U.S. Government (in Grades K-12) and who meet the entrance requirements, are given priority for admission.

Parents or employing agencies who intend to enroll children in AISD should notify the school as early as possible. Admission is contingent on completing the full application packet (see Procedure). A non-refundable application fee is required at the time of application. However, if admission is denied, the fee will be refunded.

AISD has an active Student Support Services program that plays a key role in ensuring that all AISD students have a fair opportunity to achieve their full developmental and academic potential. Through this program, the school provides students with a wide-range of services to students who possess learning differences and to students who are experiencing social and emotional difficulties. The program also provides academic English language support for those students who are non-native speakers of English who require academic and social support to develop English language fluency. AISD is an inclusionary school, and consequently, services are aligned as much as possible with the student’s regular classroom environment.
