The AMI School has been growing and changing over the years. Throughout the

Long history of the school and the many changes that have been integrated, one

thing that is most obvious is our passion and commitment to our children and

families.

education with acceptance of diversity, respect of individuality and working

Together as the cornerstones of our policies.

We lead the students to intellectual excellence and a strong character by ensuring

that these years are full of opportunities to explore their potential and abilities.

Morning assembly and break/afternoon assembly are the most important part of day and provide a wonderful opportunity for announcements, skits, presentations, introductions and sharing information.

A school canteen facility is available, providing snacks, which are hygienically prepared at the school kitchen. The most favorite among students are the scrumptious kebab rolls and French fries !

The A.M.I. School believes that the cognitive skills gained through core

academic coursework are critical, but that it is equally important for children to develop the social and emotional skills essential for lifelong success – skills best learned through a well-rounded, "holistic" curriculum.

This holistic approach to education encourages students to explore ideas and experiences that will help them become responsible and active participants in society.

Our ‘"Life Skills Program" aims to integrate the learning of such skills in the school. It has been introduced at the Junior and Senior and includes the following courses:

Roller skating

Taekwondo

Expert instructors and teachers are hired for these courses and the

classes are held every week. More courses are being added to create

a wider spectrum of interests and experiences for the students.

Organic gardening(Added to Life Skills Program for 2012-2013)

Pottery/ Creative Clay
