LEARN

WITH PURPOSE

(DEVELOPING POTENTIAL)
We believe life is a continuous process of learning as life changes, we must be able to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to adapt and grow. We must practice and apply what we learn to be able to navigate life.

LEAD

WITH HEART

(BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS)
We have a responsibility to discover a plan for our lives and help others with theirs. Trusting relationships help you know when to lead and when to follow. Knowing how to set a plan and move in a direction is a key to individual and collective success. Living a purposeful life in this way moves us from dependence to independence to interdependence.

SERVE

WITH PASSION

(NURTURING COMPASSION)
We treat people with kindness, honesty and integrity. Encouraging students to positively contribute to their communities builds empathy and compassion. We must increase student awareness of community needs and local or global issues. Service-learning partnerships are collaborative, mutually beneficial and help students address community needs.

🎂💙 Happy Birthday, AIS! ❤️💙🤍

Today, we celebrate more than a school. We celebrate a place that, for 34 years, has been a second home, a starting point, a place where dreams have taken shape, friendships have grown, and countless stories have been written. 🏫

AIS has been creating opportunities to Learn, Lead, and Serve, inspiring generations of students, empowering educators, bringing families together, and building a community that continues to grow, evolve, and soar to new heights.

Every corner of our school holds a memory. Every generation has left a mark. And today, as we look back with gratitude and forward with excitement, we are reminded that the greatest part of AIS has always been its people. 💙

Here’s to the memories we’ve created, the lives we’ve touched, and all the marks we have yet to leave. Happy Birthday, Altamira International School! 🎉✨🎂

🧠📱 Tecnología: saber cuándo usarla y cuándo dejarla a un lado

En esta nueva edición de Director’s Voice, reflexionamos sobre las ideas de Jared Cooney Horvath en The Digital Delusion y sobre uno de los grandes retos de la educación actual: encontrar el equilibrio entre lo digital y lo esencialmente humano.

La tecnología hace parte de nuestro presente y será fundamental en el futuro. Por eso, como colegio, debemos aprender a reconocer cuándo puede potenciar el aprendizaje y cuándo necesitamos detenernos, tomar un lápiz y un papel, y simplemente pensar. ✏️💭

Porque educar para el futuro no significa digitalizarlo todo; significa enseñar a nuestros estudiantes a utilizar cada herramienta con propósito, criterio y conciencia. 🌎✨

¿En qué momentos creen que nuestros hijos necesitan más tecnología y en cuáles necesitan simplemente papel, lápiz y tiempo para pensar? Los leemos. 👇

🚦 Una movilidad segura también se aprende desde pequeños

En Altamira, cada integrante de nuestra comunidad cumple un papel importante para garantizar una entrada y salida segura, ágil y organizada. En Pre Primary, esto también significa ayudar a nuestros niños a desarrollar autonomía desde sus primeros años. 👧🏻👦🏻

Por eso, recordamos algunas recomendaciones clave:

🕖 Llega puntual: Kinder inicia clases a las 8:00 a. m., mientras que Primero inicia a las 7:00 a. m. El ingreso para Primero está habilitado desde las 6:45 a. m.

🚗 Permite que tu hijo ingrese de manera autónoma: nuestros estudiantes pueden llegar a su salón solos o acompañados por sus profesoras. No es necesario bajarse del vehículo.

🅿️ Respeta las zonas de parqueo: los parqueaderos de la parte inferior están destinados a nuestras profesoras. Si necesitas estacionar, puedes utilizar los parqueaderos ubicados junto al Centro de Innovación.

🎒 Todo listo antes de llegar: maletín, zapatos y demás elementos deben estar preparados antes de bajar del vehículo. Evitemos detenernos a buscar objetos en el baúl.

⏰ Ten presente los horarios de salida: normalmente, Pre Primary sale a la 1:30 p. m. Los miércoles, la salida es a las 2:45 p. m.

Gracias por acompañarnos en este propósito y por ayudarnos a formar niños cada vez más autónomos, responsables y seguros.

Trabajemos juntos por nuestra comunidad y sigamos las reglas para cuidar la seguridad de todos.
