COMMUNITY AT A GLANCE
AES Student
Many would believe that academic skills are solely for grades and exam scores. However, AES has been a place where I was inspired to use those skills for a greater good: to represent our community, to lift our reputation as sharp students, and to join an unencountered symposium of academic students. This was especially true when I participated in the MESAC Academic Games tournament and World Mathematics Championship, as they motivated me to seek opportunities to demonstrate my academic ability. After all, the hallmark of an AES education is to present students with as many opportunities as possible. I am also grateful for the resources that AES offers to students for them to become better and stronger. AES teachers have never failed to support me whenever I needed help, and I believe all this places AES at another level.

AES, which was AIS when I went there, was the capstone to a life in international schools to that point, and the most superb. Dedicated to having us understand where were were in place and time, AIS teachers exposed us to what it meant to live in and appreciate India. Our humanities course in our senior year, for example, had two of our teachers, Mrs. Brown and Mr. Shepherd, bringing in an Indian artist who worked with paint and sand to talk about and show us his techniques, and then we all painted our own masterpieces. When we studied architecture we went to Chandigarh for 3 days, and so on. We all took Indian Civilization, and many of us took at least enough Hindi to chatter in the markets. In 2019, over 40 alums went back to India for the 50th anniversary of the graduation of the class of 1969, and were welcomed back to the school with open arms. Thank you AIS/AES!

The New AES Interactive Admissions Experience
During this Interactive Experience, you will have the chance to meet some of our faculty members and hear about many aspects of our school and the programs that make it so special. You will also get to see a virtual tour of our beautiful campus.
Enter to Learn. Leave to Serve.
From our start in 1952, our students have given AES a reputation for service and care. It’s a beautiful thing to see them bear their achievements with grace in the local community and as alumni. Our high school students see and know the needs of local people and organizations in Delhi. They own it, and they deserve to be known for a culture of service and generosity that follows them from the early years into their adult lives.

Faculty
AES has community at its heart. The teachers at AES are professional, knowledgable, creative, and care about their students. Strong partnerships are formed between parents and teachers so that academic, social, and emotional student learning are the top priority. As a colleague, I appreciate working with other teachers who know that our work is to foster skills in critical thinking, reasoning, collaboration, and communication. As a parent, I appreciate that the teachers at AES take the time to get to know my children and can appreciate their individual strengths.
