Nothing
How would you describe the social activities available for parents through this school? Are there parent-teacher organizations?
There is a parent group. Parents are helpful and meet now and then to organize events or coffee mornings but the attendance is poor.
What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?
DON'T. Try to find another school especially one with experienced staff and not full of himself/herself director and leaders. In Aics some teacher are good and some other bad. The secondary part is terrible. The admin and communication is terrible. No facilities in a building which is not adequate for a school. There is not a good system to safeguard the children. My sons attended a good private schools in the UK where they were very good students after being in AICS for a couple of years their level went down the hill. We moved them to a good school in The Hague, problem solved. Do not waste money in AICS
