Sharing the same owners with National Institute of Technology and BIS, AISB fosters a tailored English immersion environment for ESL students while NIT and BIS both target Chinese families. AISB is a traditional international school located in an idyllic setting in Shunyi aiming to develop the children's EQ as well as IQ. Experienced, current principal Roz Weitzman makes sure that learning is maximized and fun. The school follows the Australian traditional New South Wales curriculum. Teachers, most of whom are native English speakers, generally have less than 15 students per class. The school offers Intensive ESL classes as well as ESL withdrawal at no extra charge. The school firmly believes in the home-school partnership, so teachers and parents maintain close contact through daily student diaries. Extracurricular activities include piano lessons. Facilities include an ample recreational space in a modern, park-like country setting and a computer lab.
