The Advisory Program at AIS/Dhaka is a support system designed to help students feel a sense of belonging and connection to the Middle School. Each student is assigned to a teacher/advocate who is responsible for overseeing that student's total performance and involvement in the Middle School. Advisory groups meet 20-35 minutes four-days per week The advisory group provides a “home base� for each student as well.


The Advisory Program is designed to

• support and enhance student academic success;
• develop and enhance students' self awareness;
• encourage a positive self-image;
• help students with their relationships with others;
• develop decision making and problem solving skills;
• develop leadership skills; and
• provide structured social activities.

Every Thursday, Middle School students participate in a club of their choosing with other students across grade levels.

The adviser is the first point of contact for parents and often facilitates communication between school and home.
