TRIM LINE TRIM LINE administration. Dear AISA Students, Parents, and Faculty, It is with great appreciation, humility, and responsibility that I have assumed the Head of School position at AISA. I come to this school with past educational experiences in Texas, New York City, Colombia, and Guatemala. My wife, Marisol, and I are thrilled to be here and we are having a wonderful time getting to know the students, school, and country. One of the reasons that Marisol and I decided to come to AISA was due to the high level of community spirit and stakeholder engagement. Now that I have been at the school for a few months, the feeling of community and culture resonates stronger than ever. I am so pleased when I walk down the hallways and observe the classrooms to see and hear students, teachers, and parents collaborating and working together towards a common vision and goal despite their different backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs. The 2014-15 school year is a big transition year at AISA. In addition to replacing Mrs. Amy, who has left AISA after 18 years of service to this school, our Elementary Principal, Mrs. Deanna Emond, will be leaving the school after six years in Nigeria. As with any organization, the collective spirit and whole are always bigger than any individual, but their losses have and will be felt for years to come. I am confident, however, that the school will come out ahead in the end, as changes in leadership allow us to reflect, appreciate, and continue the strong practices that our former leaders leave behind while at the same time offering an opportunity to further refine and perhaps redefine the trajectory of certain initiatives. As AISA heads into it’s next chapter of development, I want to make sure that our school is staying true to it’s stated mission of academic excellence, critical thinking, self-esteem, social responsibility, and respect for cultural diversity. During this critical transition year, we will be working on developing new and refining existing structures to support our mission and will look to engaging our community in order to move our school to the next level. TRIM LINE TRIM LINE TRIM LINE TRIM LINE Thank you for your continued support of AISA, and best wishes for a wonderful 2014-15 school year!

TRIM LINE TRIM LINE preschool. a new perspective to be seen Preschool is a wonderful time in a child's life. The secret to the joy any visitor will witness and experience when passing through the halls of AISA's preschool is in the open hearts of the students. Every single one of the students has a huge amount of potential and is simply waiting to break into school. The excitement and eager smiles are seen and felt by everyone in the school community. Each teacher lucky enough to work with this population is eager, caring and hopes to help each child suceed in achieving their dreams. From exciting class activities like story time, science, field days and PE to class field trips will live on in the minds and hearts of our preschool students for the rest of their lives. Even though it's clear that these students can and will go far in their lives, they would not be where they are without the love and support of their parents. It's hard to believe that they will soon leave the fun and excitement of preschool for the even more interesting and engaging world of prekindergarten. The journey of every life has a starting point, and at AISA, that starting point is in the colorful, vibrant halls of our preschool. The students start their educational journeys in a way that keeps them excited and interested in school for the rest of their lives and if they're lucky, they will continue the adventure right here in Abuja at AISA. If not, however, and the students leave for farther lands, AISA is sure to have prepared them in the absolute best manner possible.

Creativity, fun and a lively atmosphere are just few ways pre-k red and blue can be described. This year, the students focused on learning how to read and write, distinguishing shapes and colors, understanding and articulating feelings, sharing and caring, introductions to library visits and the importance of literacy and much, much more.

TRIM LINE TRIM LINE first grade. seeing the world in a new way First grade is all about tremendous growth. Students have left the soft, nurturing confines of the Early Childhood section of AISA and have ventured out, onto their own, into the big wide world of elementary school. For students and parents alike, it is a bittersweet time when children begin to learn independence and selfsufficency, form unique and lasting friendships with peers, and begin to navigate the waters of self-awareness. The students take huge strides in the areas of reading and writing, helped by AISA's very own Reading Specialist. They come into the class decoding small words and leave composing essays, narratives and even poetry. They enter counting by ones and leave with a strong foundation in addition and subtraction and even some new skills in algebra and geometry. They are introduced to the scientific method and begin the year by observing their teachers lead small experiements. First graders are exposed to so much, they have regular appointments with specialist teachers in such subjects as PE, art and music. They form a deeper understanding of Nigeria and its people and even recieve lessons on forming their own character from the school counselor. It is a wonderful time in their lives. With all this learning going on, however, it's important not to foget all of the times for celebrations! From birthday parties to field trips to national holidays, the first graders certainly know how to make their classroom into a party!

TRIM LINE TRIM LINE 2nd grade. the spotlight is on AISA's second grade is an energetic, enthusiastic and engaged group that is eager to learn and above all, love to laugh and have fun. In this grade, the students continue to incorporate technology into their work, watching interactive videos like BrainPop and enjoying the SmartBoards in the classrooms and the interactive quizzes and games they provide. The students love to cheer whenever they get a point or an answer right on these. In fact, they love scoring points so mch that they help each other with the answers, further illustrating what a fantastically cooperative group they are. The second graders also turn themselves into great scientists in class by learning about different habitats, plants, wildlife, environment and dinosaurs. They always ask questions and carry out experiments. Also they love to use graphic organizers to create stories and solve mathematical problems. The display of fantastic attitudes towards learning have shown the entire AISA community that the future will be bright for this energetic group of second graders as they prepare their way for third grade. Second graders take their enthusiasm into every aspect of their learning, from art classes, where they learn to draw and paint and capture the world around them creatively, to PE, where they gain their dose of exercise and learn all about the body and how to keep it healthy and active, to music, where they discover various ways to create songs and dance. In library, they further their love of reading and enjoy moments where they can both read with one another, and be read to by their beloved librarian. By this time, students are able to choose their own age-appropriate books and bring these home to incorporate reading into all aspects of their lives. AISA helps to instill good habits of mind and soul that students will carry forward with them for the rest of their lives. So the next time you find yourself near the doors marked "2 Red" and "2 Blue," you don't have to wonder anymore about why so much laughter and joy emanates from those rooms. At AISA, our second graders are crazy happy to be here, learning every day.

TRIM LINE TRIM LINE 3rd grade. uncovering clues everywhere, seeing is believing This year's third graders have demonstrated creativity and proved they are forward thinkers by stepping out of their comfort zone to write poems, act like pirates, make connections to texts and themselves and the world and read for understanding about various topics. Throughout the year they have built a foundation and applied critical thinking and problem solving skills. Some highlights this year have been creating power point presentations, journal writing, visiting various areas around town, and forming companies to manufacture and sell. Not only are third graders responsibile citizens, but they are also highly creative. A few examples of their creativity could be spotted when students wrote poetry, created art in class, read, discussed or wrote about creation myts, or reproduced artwork from famous artists. Students loved having the opportunity to turn on their creative side. As we near the end of the year, we look back and reflect on the ways in which this marvelous group of third graders have been able to unlock the mysteries and sail through a year of learning and selfexploration. They have developed into well-rounded individuals with the world at their feet. And, consdering their awesome show at events such as Sports Day, they are certainly a force to be reckoned with!

We also learned a great deal about women's history and the Civil Rights movement in the United States and how those relate to Nigeria and the rest of the world. The students have embraced this year with the enthusiasm and good nature that teachers, assistants and specials alike have grown to understand and envision this particular group of students. Whether while reading class novels, dancing and singing in the various performances the classes present, participating in Sports Day or having a party, fourth grade is definitely a year to remember. This year, students continued to grow and blossom through PE classes, the library, after school clubs such as Mad Science, Soccer, Swimming, Baking, Young Designers, and Engineers club and all of the other things AISA has to offer. Throughout all of these events, fourth grade now has a chance to look back and marvel at how they have been able to unlock the mysteries of life in preparation for setting sail into fifth grade. These students see where they are going, their senses are sharpened and their sights are set on the final year of elementary school, after which they will leave the nest of their school forever for the big time.

TRIM LINE TRIM LINE 5th grade. ready to be seen ... in middle school By fifth grade, AISA students are eager to move up and into the wide world of middle school. Though they have a brief period of time in sixth grade, where they are taken under the wing of the Middle School Transition Coordinator, this change is one of the most monumental and sometimes frightening shifts of their lives. However, for this particular group of students, the only focus seems to be on the excitement of being seen in middle school. This year was packed with fun and excitement for the students, from science lab experiements to trips to the library to long games during reccess and lunch. Students read novels in class, both with teachers and during Silent Sustained Reading, individually, performed experiments, learned about history, math and Nigerian Studies an danced and sang during Nigeria Day. If there is one way to describe this group, it is "excited." They are not frightened like so many students during this phase of life, but rather, they are ready and eager to move on to coursework at AISA that includes Pre-AP coursework as students move from basic elementary curriculum to begin the journey towards a College Prep education. Fifth grade teachers and assistants agree: there is nothing to worry about with this group of kids as they spread their wings and fly to the other end of campus, or elsewhere, in their educational journey.

To be an athlete, you must have endurance, strength, energy, and sportmanship. Tarik Popoola (12) and Annissa Aamoun (9) have all those qualities. With any sport, they try their very best to perform the task given. "Tarik plays every sport except for swimming and he is good at them. Annissa is good at everything (basketball, soccer, american football, volleyball, etc.) They are both hardworking and athletic." The life of a party is someone who can throw down a crazy, wild, and fun time that everyone just has to and wants to be invited to. Mrinal Kanyal (12) is usually the center of the party. No one would bother to show up if the party animal himself isn't there. This category is dedicated to the people that, despite being 30, would still be ID'd because of how young they look. Muhammed Dahiru(12) just has that baby face that even at 30, while going out or something, would definitely get ID'd. A boss makes decisions or exercises authority. He/ she is a supervisor or controlling element. Vignesh Sivan (12) was voted most likely to become your future boss. Vignesh is brilliant, with qualities of a leader. He is also very hardworking. His intelligence and eagerness to work hard will only put him on top of the food chain. A teacher's pet kisses up to the teacher in order to be favored and liked, but the main priority is to get a great grade. Chris Esomo (12) sucks up a lot and is very clingy. He's overly nice to teachers and it gives a big impression that he's a teacher's pet. Let us not be haters and admit that we've all done it at some point.

TRIM LINE TRIM LINE The best excuses come from the best criminal minds. You can get away with anything if you play your cards right. Khalid Mahmoud (7), Having a great nick name could give you some sort of status in school. It can etiher be good, bad or simply an easier or shorter way to say a name. Having a nick name that only certain people call you can also indicate how close you are to them. Daniel Nicholson (8) is also called "birthday buddy, baby Daniel." He shares a birthday with a friend so he's called birthday buddy and he's super cute like a baby, hence the name baby Daniel. A lucky person succeeds by chance rather than through one's own actions. Anna- Maria Beskostaya (7), according to middle school, is the luckiest because "she gets all the balls in basketball during P.E., has the best grade in Social Studies class and is ahead of the whole class." Not many can be great at school, sports, or both, so to them...this, for sure, is luck.

Normally, a teacher's pet is someone who kisses up to the teacher in order to get good grades. But it doesn't have to be a bad thing. According to some middle schoolers, Tona Akerele (8) "always does her homework and is never late for anything. She gets all the awards and is loved by all." Just beause you are nice to the teachers, doesn't mean you suck up for grades.Their meaning of "teacher's pet" is a positive interpretation that all should follow. A celebrity look- alike is a person that can be compared to a celebrity due to their similarities. Noa Tsafrir (6) "looks like Gal Gadot who played in fast and furious."

TRIM LINE TRIM LINE One of the several opportunities that AISA boasts to participate in communal sports is becoming a member of its resident swim team. Coached by Mary-Lou, Ellen Johnston, and Caroline Nielsen with a season runtime from October 3rd to November 2nd, AISA’s swim team practiced and perfected their skills to the best of their abilities in order to participate in both WAISAL and the home meet this year. This year’s annual WAISAL tournament capped off three weeks of hard work for AISA’s swimmers, an event that drew students from a variety of schools to compete in Accra, Ghana. Though AISA won mostly bronze medals, one distinguished swimmer – Ekemini Ekarika – won a gold medal for her talented backstroke. The swim team also enjoyed a substantial number of individual victories during the home meet in November, going head-to-head with a variety of schools, including ICS, DSN, Regent, and the French School. Every AISA swimmer managed to get at least one silver medal, with a few lucky athletes winning several more, commemorating the vast improvement the team saw compared to their performance in the WAISAL tournament. "Swimming tends to draw a motley mix, but especially overachievers,” says sophomore swimmer Henry Eckrich, as competitive swimming requires a variety of physical and mental strengths, including endurance, self-discipline, and, most importantly, focus.

Their objective for creating this organization for 7th, 8th, and 9th students was to recognize and celebrate students’ academic achievements, while helping them to develop other characteristics essential to becoming good citizens of the world. NJHS is founded on five important ideals and standards, which are: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Citizenship, and Character. Students who get admitted into NJHS, after a rigorous screening and selection process, are considered role models and are encouraged to remain so all through life. The world needs selfless people who would go out of their way to be of service to others, and this is what this society stands for. NJHS goes beyond an honor role, it extends to stepping out to assuming leadership, investing time, making sacrifices, rendering service, giving to community, respecting people and the environment, caring for others, and generally being a good citizen. As NJHS AISA Chapter adviser, I have been working with the students since 2013 and I have seen the positive effect that this society has on the members over the years. Being a member of this leading educational organization has great advantages. Members are honored and respected everywhere they go. They have better chances of being admitted to other schools or higher institutions. Their curriculum vitae looks better. Membership in one chapter is accepted in any other chapter in the world. Admission to NHS, which is the high school arm of the society, becomes easier. I strongly recommend this society to all students who aspire to stand out and make a difference in this decaying world.

A huge element of AISA’s well-earned reputation includes its belief in prioritizing education at all costs, especially when less-than-favorable situations call for flexibility. On August 22nd 2014, an unexpected outbreak of Ebola in Nigeria forced the government to shut down all schools for weeks on end. For most other schools, any and all academic proceedings would have ground to a halt. But with the help of an online platform called Moodle, the teachers and staff members of AISA still managed to actively communicate with the students working at home. Karolina Zelvyte (12) According to Moodle.org’s “About” page, “Moodle is a learning platform designed to provide educators, administrators and learners with a single robust, secure and integrated system to create personalized learning environments.” Until school resumed on September 22nd, quasi-regular classes were carried out through forums and chat rooms as well as via email and Turnitin.com. Overall, Moodle proved a general advantage when it came to having some form of school in session, but as helpful as it was during The Month of Darkness, it was not without its fair share of critics. An anonymous survey sent out to AISA students in October rapidly gathered a slew of dismal responses. Complaints about the overall two-week experience of Moodle ranged from the adverse effect it had on student productivity to the Chris Esomo (12) disorienting difficulty in teacher-student communication. “I wasn’t prepared for online schooling… I felt like I was pretty much struggling to teach myself,” complained one nameless contributor, while another conceded that “I was more productive at home, but Math and Chemistry were hopeless.” IT director Paul Ericksen seemed impartial, if not highly aware of how laborious it was to virtually support the entire school for weeks on end. “That first Friday on Moodle was probably the most stressful day I’d ever had here,” he admitted. “After that, though, everything was just fine.” Just as school continued after the Ebola scare in the flesh, Moodle continues to be an active tool both used in the classroom and at home. Many may dispute its usefulness, but few can deny the essential role it plays in keeping everyone in touch.
