Partly state funded by the Dutch government. All Dutch International Schools are connected to a Dutch school board. The AICS was founded by and is part of the Esprit Scholen Group and is also part of the DIS (Dutch International Schools).
The Amsterdam International Community School (AICS) South Campus offers the complete International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum, including the Primary Years, Middle Years, Diploma, and Career-related Programmes. Operating in a climate-neutral building opened in 2022, the campus accommodates 1,400 students aged 4 to 18. The school features specialized facilities to support its curriculum, including four science labs, a dance studio, a music and drama room, and two large gymnasiums. A distinct aspect of the primary school is its emphasis on outdoor education, utilizing local natural surroundings for hands-on, inquiry-based learning. AICS also actively supports linguistic diversity through its "best-language" development initiative, providing clubs for students to maintain native languages like German, French, Spanish, and Italian. To assist families with the daily commute, the school partners with a dedicated shuttle service. Through a transdisciplinary framework, AICS closely integrates its learning environment with the local Amsterdam community and sustainable practices.
