Admissions

Whether you decide to join us for the academic program, the opportunities for international travel, or the diverse opportunities for individual success, the American International School of Kingston (AISK) is ready to encourage, excite, and empower your child to achieve excellence.

Spend a Day at AISK!

We know how important - and how difficult - it is to choose a school environment that will nurture your child and inspire them to truly flourish. That's one reason why we encourage you, and all our prospective parents to take advantage of our "Spend a Day at AISK" shadowing program.

Over the course of your visit you'll be able to observe classes, interact with administration and teachers, and experience AISK first-hand. Click on the link below to schedule an appointment, or contact the admissions office to schedule a meeting.

MEET THE ADMISSIONS TEAM

Rachael Mair-Boxill
Director of Admissions

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to AISK. As you take a virtual look at our school, you will instantly see that there is such depth to who we are. We are a strong and resilient community, firmly rooted in our values and traditions.

AISK is a school committed to excellence where children are the focus. Our story is one where students are encouraged to be passionate and confident humans who are able to pursue their passions. Through partnership of all stakeholders involved we work together to ensure that our students experience success each and every day.

What better way to prepare for the future no matter what lies ahead. AISK students are self-possessed, they are risk-takers, empathetic and socially responsible; attributes that they use to live fulsome lives and lead and serve with purpose.

My hope is that our school atmosphere continues to be that of a warm, welcoming environment for everyone. It is no doubt a unique school experience in Jamaica.

I look forward to sharing more about our school with you.

Please come and visit!

Elisabeth Hill
Admissions Coordinator

I joined AISK in January 2017 as the Admissions Coordinator and have held that role ever since. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Media and Communication and a Master of Arts in Communication Studies. I have worked in education for the past 12 years.

I’m motivated by my Christian faith to strive for excellence. AISK’s core values are what made the school appealing to me.

Although I’m not a teacher, I love teaching. I’m trained to teach English as a Foreign Language and I teach adult remedial English classes at my church.

Zarna Drummond
Recruitment, Retention & Engagement Manager

I joined the AISK family in August 2021 as a parent of a Grade 11 student from a local high school. It is not difficult to be blown away by the campus, classrooms, and resources coming from a Jamaican public high school. But, I wasn't prepared for the outpouring of support, nurturing, and care for the things I couldn't touch with my hands but certainly felt in my heart. I think sometimes we forget how vital these things are. I wanted to tell anyone I knew about AISK to do whatever it takes “legally” and put your child in this school!!!

And so here I am today, recruiting, engaging, and hopefully retaining. If you know someone who may be a perfect fit for OUR school, please feel free to pass on their info. Or maybe you know of a student or a parent who may need some extra attention and care; I’ll be happy to reach out to them.

We have a beautiful campus and tremendous resources. Still, I think our greatest asset is YOU, our teachers, our children’s warriors, doing everything you can to make our children successful, confident, happy, and global citizens. So please, let me know what I can do to help you.

One Love ♡,
Zarna

There are many things I could say about the time I spent at AISK, but to put it into just one word – unforgettable.

Qualifying for University Placement

In addition to the US High School Diploma, we offer two International Baccalaureate options:

IB Diploma Program - Courses

The first is the IB Courses program, that allows students to pursue only the academic subjects that interest them. Students may take from one to six subjects in the IB Courses option. This path is perfect for the student who may have athletic or creative talents that they may have to devote an inordinate amount of time to hone their skills, as well as the student that may want to deepen their study in only a few academic areas.

IB Diploma Program - Diploma

Taking the IB Diploma Program further, students completing a full IB Diploma receive credit for many university-level courses, shortening their college career by up to an entire year. The six courses also includes a demanding core curriculum that requires students to take their education outside the classroom, incorporating group activity, creativity, and community service into a rigorous academic education.
