Welcome to AISF! We are a private, non-profit, PreK-8th grade school. Under the auspices of the U.S. Embassy, our multicultural staff provide an American curriculum to a multinational community in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

We emphasize process-based learning and support English second-language acquisition in a caring atmosphere. We value problem solving at higher cognitive levels, parental involvement in the educational program, cross-curricular subject integration, teaching through varied learning styles, and using a variety of methods to assess learning growth.

We provide for continuous staff development, and strive for all members of our school community to acquire, through collaboration and sharing, the communicative skills and values that characterize effective members of a changing, multicultural society.

We believe that each child is unique. We believe that all individuals have strengths and abilities that can be developed to benefit themselves and the global community, and that the curriculum is achievable for every student with the application of appropriate teaching strategies, cooperation of learners, and support from the home environment. We believe that process-based curricula and teaching styles encourage the self-actualization needed for intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development.
