Our Vision

The vision of IAS is to be an authentic Christian community, unified by our common faith in Jesus Christ. Our English environment, small class sizes, and college preparatory program will adequately prepare students for success at the university level. Together we strive to create a positive school atmosphere that has student achievement as its focus. Our desire is to see students impact their communities as purposeful and responsible citizens and leaders. 

Academic Focus

From the beginning, IAS has provided educational opportunities to students who wish to experience a North American system of education, for many in hopes of eventually entering higher education in either the United States or Canada. The school strives to enable students to move easily between schools with U.S. based curriculum.

IAS is proud of its multi-national constituency. It encourages students to be loyal citizens, to become competent in both English and Spanish languages, to appreciate North American and Guatemalan (both Hispanic and Mayan) cultures, and to build lasting bridges of understanding between nations and peoples.
