Accreditation
AIS is accredited wholly or in part by four distinct accrediting bodies. AIS is fully accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS), AdvancED, formerly the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), and the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). The Primary School has also been recognized by the French Ministry of Education as having programs equivalent to those in French schools.
By the end of the fifth grade, more than 40 percent of AIS students achieve an "intermediate-high" level in French, German, or Spanish on the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) proficiency exam. This is the same level of proficiency required by most states to become a certified high school teacher of a foreign language.
