The school is governed by a five-member School Board; three of the members, including the Board Chair, are appointed by the United States Ambassador and two members are elected by the members of the PTA (Parent Teacher Association).

AISZ students also participated in MS Knowledge Bowl and the Team A proudly took home the first place trophy, while the HS Knowledge Bowl team took third place. The MS Girls Basketball team brought the sportsmanship trophy back to AISZ this year. We're very proud of all of our students!
AISZ is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. In November, 2007 a Validation Team from the Middle States Association (MSA) visited AISZ and reviewed and verified the work of the Planning Team. The Validation Team confirmed that we meet the 12 standards set by the MSA and, as a result, AISZ has received the full 7 year re-accreditation. AISZ is also authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization to offer the IB Diploma Program in grades 11 and 12. The IB Diploma is a rigorous academic program recognized by most universities around the world.
