Admissions Process

Hear from Alumni

The IB program challenged me in a way that I had not been challenged before, and I really had to learn how to stay dedicated and committed, and how to manage my time, no matter how stressed or overwhelmed I was. That really helped me throughout university and through med school.

It is with a great deal of excitement that I warmly welcome you to AISK for the 30th celebration year; it presents a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our history and look to the future with unbridled optimism. Excitement and promise abound!

As a lifelong international educator and leader and the newly appointed MS/HS Principal, I come to the AISK community with a deep belief in the power of community, of education, and in the potential and promise of young people. There is not a day that I am not grateful for the gift of working with them and for them.

What I have already found impressive about AISK is the unwavering and joyful commitment of the community to the mission, vision and values of the school. What better place for all of us to be our best and continue to grow into our potential than in a community genuinely committed to excellence through actions rooted in integrity and respect.

In such a community, we will all be inspired and empowered to learn, to grow, and to serve. I can’t wait!

I look forward in joyful anticipation to an amazing year ahead with all of you. My door is always open, please stop by.

Denise Campbell Admin Assistant

I have been the Administrative Assistant to the Middle & High School Principal since 2014. I have a Degree in Management with a minor in Marketing from the University of Technology. I spent most of my working life in Human Resources in the Manufacturing & Finance sector and have happily moved to the Educational sector since 2008.

Having been at AISK for the past 6 years I marvel at just how important the environment and encouragement of teachers can make a significant difference in the learning for a student. I think AISK provides that environment where our students are allowed to be their best selves resulting in student confidence that makes all the difference. A rigid space does not work for everyone and genuine student care is important. This is what inspires me. That I can be here to make the learning experience different or better for my students gets me excited to don my “Mother Hen hat” and just be there. I truly love my job!!

One interesting fact about me is that I love love love to dance. Reading and Sewing are my favorite hobbies.
