About the School

Here at AISC, our mission is to develop intellectually audacious, socially responsible citizens of the world. On our small, quaint island of green on the fringes of bustling Conakry, the teachers, staff, and parents have set out as a village to make our students feel safe, happy, fully engaged, and responsible for their learning.  We celebrate our students and work together to create a well-rounded learning environment on our campus.  Through their experiences, we envision that students will use their voices to serve as lifelong advocates for Guinea and Africa. We are proud to be the only accredited English-medium school in Guinea and offer an American-style education based on the AERO Standards in a decidedly international context. From Pre-K through Grade 12, early childhood on up to a U.S. high school diploma, we engage with children and their families to provide a solid education that develops critical thinking, relationship building, imagination, and compassion.
