At AIS we promote a calm, friendly atmosphere and we expect the highest standards of behaviour from our children. Guidelines based on mutual respect and consideration are clearly set down and self- discipline is fostered through praise, encouragement and positive reinforcement of good behaviour. Children are encouraged to collectively decide on their class rules and to take responsibility for their own behaviour at all times while at school. There are several ways that we reward our pupils for their behaviour, learning and personal triumphs. These include well done certificates presented by the head teacher, praise postcards sent home by the head teacher, school council recommendations and class teachers celebrating achievements in various ways.

We believe that positive reinforcement and rewarding good behaviour are more powerful than punishment. By consistently rewarding positive behaviour we make it clear to pupils what sort of behaviour is acceptable and encouraged.

However, the school does have a policy for dealing with unacceptable behavior. Such behaviour is always challenged and dealt with. Staff usually resolve problems by talking to the child and, when necessary, removing privileges. In the event of persistent misbehavior, parents are invited to meet with their child's teacher or the board of administration so that a strategy for improving the child's behaviour can be put into place and everyone can work together to achieve success.
