Welcome

Welcome to our family. That is the sense you get when you walk through our doors. Even though Ashgabat International School (AIS) is a school of almost 300 students, we pride ourselves in being a place that is warm, safe, and supportive for our students whether they are 3 years old or in their final year of secondary school. This is a place they can feel at home.

AIS is an MSA accredited school which is part of the QSI family of schools. We offer a comprehensive Mastery Learning curriculum from 2 years-old to graduation. From early ages, students are given the support and time needed to be successful. With engaging classes and enthusiastic teachers, they can be challenged, encouraged, and invited to explore the world around them. This includes the opportunity to participate in drama, music, technology and sports and a rigorous academic program that offers a well-rounded choice of courses for each age up to college-equivalent AP Courses. The school is also a testing center for MAP, PSAT, SAT, GRE, TOEFL and AP Courses. 

Our campus boasts a beautiful sports and recreation area with facilities and equipment for soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis, tetherball, frisbee golf, badminton, and other sports. We have a fully stocked art room with a kiln and pottery wheels, 5 computer labs and modern, clean, inviting classrooms where students have space to create. A wide-ranging library and in classroom personal-reading libraries are just some of the resources available to students. 

The key to our success is a dedicated, enthusiastic staff. They are qualified local and international teachers who put first every student’s growth, learning and social development. This is enhanced by our Empower^® Program which teaches students the life skills, growth mindset and social skills to meet the challenges of today’s world. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “The goal of true education is intelligence plus character.” At AIS we take both seriously.

As an international educator for over 25 years, I chose AIS because it is the place I wanted my own family to be educated. We think after seeing our school in action, you will feel the same.

Sincerely,

Dan Waterman
