The 四虎影院 (AISCT) is situated in Constantia within the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town. We are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and are endorsed as an independent school by the Western Cape Education Department. We cater to students from as young as two years old through to Grade 12 or Matric. The school is organized into our Early Childhood Development or Preschool program called Grizzly Cubs, our Elementary or Primary School, and after Grade 5 students move into our Upper School which includes Middle School and High School.

We have 500 students from over 50 countries, and our Primary School is a close-knit, 200-student-strong community.

Families in our Primary School at AISCT live throughout Cape Town. Our bus service collects students at their door, but many families live in the beautiful areas around our campus.

Primary School at AISCT

Our Primary School, or what we call our Elementary School, has a rich and holistic program. A strong curriculum in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies is complemented by visual arts, music, drama, and foreign languages (French and Spanish). We also have an IT and iPad program. Learning also includes service learning, and support is given to students through learning support and counseling. The curriculum at AISCT uses research-based standards and benchmarks of the United States curriculum that are aligned to meet our school curricular needs. It aligns to thousands of other prestigious public and private schools in the United States and around the world. On account of the standards-based approach and the strong focus on transferable learning, students transition into other schools and countries even if the curriculum is different. Within our learners, we hope to instill a strong sense of community, respect, responsibility, and integrity while equipping them with the skills to be curious, lifelong learners.

Primary school at AISCT is a fun, inspiring, and caring place to be, where students feel they belong. The teaching and learning is dynamic, diverse, and rigorous, enabling students to develop academically as well as socially and emotionally.

We hire dedicated and experienced teachers from around the world as well as from South Africa, and our class sizes are small with a teacher-student ratio of 1:10.

We also have an extensive list of after-school activities available to all age groups.

Admissions

AISCT works on the US calendar with the school year beginning in August and finishing in June. We accept applications throughout the school year with our largest intake of students in the beginning of the school year and then in January at the start of our second semester. Students in our Primary School can begin classes at any time during the school year.

We offer personalized, private tours for families and students, giving you an opportunity to see the school and our teaching and learning in progress.

]]> Congratulations to the AISCT Class of 2022 /congratulations-to-the-aisct-class-of-2022/ Thu, 09 Jun 2022 18:55:47 +0000 https://www.websterstudio.co.za/?p=11670

This year鈥檚 graduating class consisted of 27 seniors from 17 countries. For our seniors, the past four years have been challenging. What started out as a normal 10th-grade experience quickly turned upside down, and only in the past few months have we returned to a more normalized environment.

Seniors experienced an incredible juxtaposition between the start and end of their high school years, but after navigating their young adult life through this stark contrast, they appear more confident and resilient than ever. This period of time has brought so many different things and to each of them in a different way: loss, grief, hope, helplessness, opportunity, love, focus, friendships, and memories that will last forever.

It has been a transformational journey. During this time, seniors have shifted their priorities, re-evaluated what is important, found their voice, and used their power and influence to positively impact both AISCT and our surrounding communities. They continued to push and challenge themselves with 96% of the graduates taking three or more Advanced Placement (AP) college-level classes.

It is no wonder they have been accepted to 85 universities in 12 countries and have received over R16 million in scholarships to date.

Offers for South African universities which have later application dates will be received in several months, but for our students looking to go overseas, the opportunities are many. There were multiple offers to Penn State, Syracuse University, Boston University, and Northeastern University, among many other colleges in the USA. There were multiple offers to the University of British Columbia and the University of Toronto in Canada. Within the UK, there were offers to Oxford University, SOAS University of London, Cardiff University, Suffolk University, and more. In Europe, offers included Erasmus University, Utrecht University, Geneva School of Business, EU Business School, the University of Malta, and more. Some students are making their way to Australia and New Zealand with offers at the University of Auckland, the University of Queensland, and the University of Sydney. These are only a few of the schools on the extensive list of offers, and some of our students have decided to take a well-deserved gap year or have chosen a non-tertiary path.

Whatever the next steps, they are well-prepared for their lives ahead.

A Message to our Graduates

We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you, not only for your academic achievements but for your perseverance, personal development, global citizenship, and your adaptability. We know great things lie ahead for you. Wherever your path leads, we wish you the very best!

It is an honor to call you all Grizzlies!
