Extra-Curricular Program
Aisle Player Theatre
The AISle PLAYERS are the students of the American International School/Dhaka who study, practice, and appreciate theater arts.
As an extension of the arts education program, one of our purposes is to provide authentic experiences in theater production to the students of the American International School/Dhaka. In addition to providing opportunities for students to perform, we provide opportunities for student involvement in the design, technical and business aspects of theater production.
We aim to present a wide range of drama genres for the purpose of helping students and the public become aware of, understand, and appreciate human culture, history and religious diversity. We hope that all audience members will grow to become appreciative, enthusiastic, and sophisticated patrons of the arts and that the material we select for performance will stimulate discussion, evoke emotional response, and broaden perspectives.

AIS/D is a member of SAISA (South Asia Inter-School Association), an
athletic league that serves international schools from our region.
Middle School students have the opportunity to participate in the two
sports which have age-group levels of competition. They are swimming and track & field.
Teams travel with their coaches to various locations in the region and
are composed of students who have qualified for participation.
Swimming at AIS/D is a challenging, rigorous program for students in grades 6-12. When a student joins the swim team they need to be ready to swim between 2,000 and 5,000 meters three or four times per week. Swim team practice starts the second day of school, so students involved need to be dedicated and organized. Starts, stroke development, and turn refinement are a part of the program. This year's swim team competed with other SAISA teams from around the region in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Many AIS/D athletes posted personal bests or "Top 10" times to finish 2nd place overall at Colombo this past year.
SAISA
swim competition is in three age groups: 10-12, 13-14, and 15-19, with
separate boys and girls competitions in all groups. This year Dhaka set
a new school record in the girls 13-14 medley relay. In addition to
their swimming ability, the AIS/D swimmers exhibited outstanding spirit and sportsmanship throughout the competition.
Track and Field at AIS/D begins in early March and includes about 60 athletes from both middle
school and high school. During the past few years, the program has
slowly gained steam, improving in several areas including sprints,
distance running and jumping events. Tiger athletes have amassed an
incredible number of personal bests and "Top 10" performances on their
way to several successive second place finishes in the six-team SAISA
East Championships. As with swimming, track competition is also organized in three age groups: 10-12, 13-14, and 15-19, with
separate boys and girls competitions in all groups.
Recently, two middle school athletes set new SAISA records in throwing events. This
past year, Tiger Track captured two of six divisional titles and the overall 13-14 age group title, on its way to a solid second place finish.
Athletes earned 15 gold medals, and, most
importantly, the team earned its second successive team sportsmanship award. In
April 2009, the team travels to Delhi for the SAISA Championships.
The team’s philosophy is focused on: 1) personal goal setting, 2) working on basic, sound technique and strategy and 3) making practice fun and enriching, especially for middle school athletes. Through these three principles, the team continues to grow and experience more and more success. The team theme for spring 2009 is "Finish Strong."
