Welcome from the Principal & Counselor
Welcome from the Principal & Counselor
August will not be here soon enough. We can't wait for the time when we can finally greet our new 6th graders and include you into the fold of our MS campus. More freedom, more choice, and yes, more responsibility await you as you begin this next exciting step in your learning journey. Families, please know that we are here to support your children. Our aim is to have our students love to come to school every day, be challenged academically, athletically and achieve individual holistic excellence. Be sure to enjoy your final days as 5th graders. Welcome to MS!
Kind regards,
Duff Douglas & Christ Haycock

Experiential Learning and Activities
Experiential Learning & Activities Coordinator
Here at AISJ, we have amazing opportunities to experience learning in a wide variety of ways. Through our after-school clubs, service opportunities, and experiential learning trips like our Classroom Without Walls, students can explore the world from different perspectives and apply our portrait of a learner in a real world setting.
If you have any questions about clubs, service opportunities, CWW, field trips, volcano group special events, or any other aspects of student life here at AISJ, please don't hesitate to contact me at the email on the left.
We look forward to having you join our MS community!
