It is the only school in Romania authorized to offer students the entire International Baccalaureate (IB) program.

Technology In Education
During the 2012-2013 academic year, AISB implemented a 1:1 'bring your own device' laptop program for all students in grades 5 to 10,[14] which later expanded during the 2013-2014 academic year to include all students from grades 5 to 12. The laptop program encouraged other initiatives which included the implementation of a high-speed 10Mbps internet connection, improved access control with the printer infrastructure, and campus-wide WiFi internet access.[15] AISB is now a Microsoft Showcase School.
