Our Mission

We at AISB are all teachers and learners of technology. 

We use technology as a means to accomplish our mission and vision. As a learning community, we recognize the rights, responsibilities, and opportunities made possible by an interconnected world, and act in safe, legal and ethical ways. 

We believe that technology use, design, and innovation go beyond concepts and skills; as mindsets, they empower individuals to embrace possibilities, think critically, broaden perspectives, and work together to enrich learning experiences.

Our Guiding Statements

We believe that creative, courageous and compassionate learners will: 

  • model digital citizenship and advocate for the rights and responsibilities of self and others;

  • cultivate and manage one’s digital identity and reputation and be aware of the permanence of one’s actions in the digital world;

  • engage in positive, safe, responsible, and respectful behavior when interacting with online content or socializing with others;

  • respect legal and ethical principles when using and sharing intellectual property;

  • take action to stand up for causes and people in need.

  • leverage digital tools to document and reflect on their learning process;

  • actively identify and explore real-world issues and problems, asking deeper questions, evaluating information, and pursuing answers and solutions;

  • know and use the design cycle for generating ideas, testing theories, and creating innovative artifacts;

  • exhibit a tolerance for ambiguity, perseverance, and the capacity to work with open-ended problems, taking risks, and welcoming failure as an opportunity.

  • embrace opportunities to build local and global connections and collaborations;

  • engage in rich conversations about culture, diversity, and inclusion in order to build skills for working across cultures;
