It is easy to find where to go when you arrive at the AIS campus. Taxi companies know our different Gates so please advise them which Gate you require. The security staff will be able to point you in the right direction once on campus. Our friendly Admissions Staff will be wearing white AIS polo shirts and are easily recognised. We also have clearly labelled welcome signs at Admissions tables on campus inside each gate.

Simply say to anybody ‘Excuse me, we are new to AIS’ and you’ll get more help than you could possibly ask for.

If you have children at different sub-schools, please do as follows:

1. If you have children in Early Years and Elementary, please go to the Early Learning Village (ELV) and then over the Music Bridge to Elementary.
2. If you have Elementary and Secondary, go to Gate 1 and head to the Theatre.

Canteen services are a critical part of the School’s provision, not least because we are all aware that nutritionally balanced food options for children can encourage them to engage in healthy eating habits as they continue to grow. Our school canteens cater for students in Early Years, Elementary and Secondary according to their age-specific needs and preferences.

The two AIS canteens are managed for the School by Sodexo. Founded in 1966 by Pierre Bellon in Marseille, France, Sodexo is now the worldwide leader in Quality-of-Life Services. In Singapore, we have over 300 Sodexo Education staff serving more than 10,500 meals every day. They have been working with schools and colleges since 1999.

Sodexo produces their dishes fresh on site, made from principal ingredients, created and anaylsed by qualified chefs and dedicated service teams.
