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.
