AHIS has a PTA described as a grassroots organization made up of parents and teachers who have a special interest in children, families, and schools.

AHIS's PTA works to develop the school environment through its objectives, promoting the welfare of all children at home, at school, and in the community, and strengthening the home–school relationship. AHIS has creative and intellectual parents and teachers forming its PTA who work together toward offering the best quality of education in the most convenient educational environment, meeting the highest international standards.
