We believe in offering a personalized and comprehensive education through a holistic approach that integrates applied knowledge, critical thinking, effective communication, and cross-cultural engagement; we empower your child with lifelong skills to navigate an ever-evolving future.

We take great pride in our school and the exceptional educational experience we offer, and we are excited to welcome your child into our supportive and enriching learning community.

“ABIS had taught me that personal development and a strong work ethic are as important as academic success”

Antonio Alec Gemarino

“ABIS was a community, everybody knew each other, and it felt like we were a big family. That is one thing I still am nostalgic about.”

Akram Aykour

“I credit a lot of my personal development at ABIS to two factors: the familial teaching environment and the access to extracurriculars.”
