Introduction

The American International School of Johannesburg (AISJ) is an independent international Pre‑K to Grade 12 school based on a gated campus in Bryanston, Johannesburg, with an additional Pretoria campus. AISJ combines an American‑style high‑school pathway and AP options with the full IB continuum (PYP, MYP and the IB Diploma Programme) and offers boarding for secondary students. English is the language of instruction; French and Spanish are taught as world languages (Spanish begins in Grade 1 and from Grade 6 students choose between Spanish or French). Published campus facilities include a swimming pool, library, gymnasium, Fine Arts Centre and boarding houses (the campus retains historic crescent‑shaped stables used for administration). The boarding programme describes private en‑suite rooms, on‑site medical care and supervised study, and the school states U.S. accreditation alongside its IB provision. Curriculum pathways, language offerings, ages served and the principal campus facilities are described on the school website and official external listings.
