Values are the guiding principles that shape our outlook, attitudes, and behavior.

Their role extends beyond imparting knowledge; they lead by example and provide guidance. Our comprehensive Value Education Program spans all classes, making the learning of values engaging and enjoyable through various educational, value-based activities.

The Ethics and values initiative at AIS aims to foster reflection and introspection on moral and ethical issues among students. Rather than imposing a set of rules, the program encourages students to thoughtfully select and adhere to values that are relevant and appropriate for their time. The sessions and activities are designed to promote independent moral reasoning and facilitate discussions about moral dilemmas and crises, helping students develop a lasting and meaningful set of values. The program also addresses a wide range of socially significant themes through creative approaches and activities, enriching students’ understanding and application of these values.

At AIS community service is embraced with unwavering integrity and enthusiasm.

Our community service initiatives are driven by the AIS Community & Outreach Club, the Interact Club, the Community-Activity-Service Program, and the students themselves, who take action as part of their inquiry cycles.

Community outreach and service activities are integrated into most of our learning experiences and engagements. These programs empower students to choose and lead social service projects, such as awareness campaigns, visits to old age homes, orphanages, centers for the deaf and mute, and eco-sustainability drives. Through these activities, our students learn early on the importance of giving back to society and supporting the less privileged and marginalized. The aim of our community outreach activities is to develop leadership, resilience, empathy, and a service-oriented mindset among students. AIS regularly collaborates with NGOs, charities, social workers, and various causes, providing our students with larger platforms to make a significant impact.
