Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The school is a day school; boarding is not provided.
AISL has a Tuck Shop; lunch can be ordered from the Tuck Shop. The Early Learning Center Extended Day Program provides lunch supervised by the ELC teaching team; students may bring lunch from home or order hot lunch from the Tuck Shop. The Tuck Shop is managed by The Fat Chef.
AISL is governed by a seven-member Board of Directors. The US Ambassador to Zambia appoints two Board members, and one of the appointed members serves as Chair; the five remaining members are elected by the AISL Parent Association (two affiliated with the US Government and three from the general parent community). Board terms are two years and members may be re-elected. The Board hires the Director, provides fiduciary oversight by approving the annual budget and setting school fees, and establishes broad policy aligned with the school's vision, mission and values. Open Meetings are held; an AGM occurs in Fall and an EGM in Spring.
