The school does not publicly disclose information about Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) provision, staff, or initiatives. The available content centers on four core values, including Responsibility, Self-Discipline, and Generosity, which underpin student conduct but are not described as an SEL program. The principal's message notes attention to the individual needs of each child, suggesting an individualized approach but no explicit SEL framework is described. There are no published details about SEL curricula, counseling services, or SEL-specific staff. Therefore, no explicit SEL program details are publicly disclosed on the pages of the site.
The site does not publicly disclose information about Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision, identification processes, or staff. The published materials describe a K-12 program with core subjects but do not reference SEN services, inclusive education policies, or dedicated SEN staff. There is no indication on the site that Athenaeum International School is a specialist SEN institution. The absence of SEN details means there is no verifiable public information about SEN support. The school does not publicly disclose information regarding SEN on its pages.
EAL-specific provisions are not publicly disclosed. English is listed as a subject in Grades 1-10, alongside Filipino, and "Mother Tongue" is used as the medium of instruction for Preschool. The Preschool description states that learning uses the child's mother tongue as the medium of instruction. There is no published information about dedicated EAL programs, language support staff, or EAL curricula. Therefore, no explicit EAL program details are publicly available. The school does not publicly disclose a specialized EAL program.
Mental wellbeing provisions are not publicly disclosed on the site. The published content focuses on core values and the standard K-12 program rather than wellbeing initiatives, counseling services, or mental health policies. There is no dedicated mental health resource page or staff profile visible. Therefore, there is no verifiable information about mental wellbeing programs published by the school. The absence indicates that mental wellbeing details are not publicly disclosed on the site.
Safeguarding and child protection policies are not publicly disclosed on the site. The available pages provide contact details, the school address, and general information, but no safeguarding policy or procedures are published. Without explicit safeguarding documentation on the site, there is no verifiable information to report. The site does not reference external safeguarding frameworks or reporting channels beyond standard contact information. The lack of publicly disclosed safeguarding details means no explicit statements are available.
1. The school offers a K-12 program in Cebu City, with Preschool (Nursery 1 and Nursery 2, Kindergarten) and Grades 1 to 10. There are two campuses for new students: AIS Main Cebu City Campus and AIS North Campus (Pit-Os, Talamban). Parents can choose the campus when starting the enrollment process. Enrollment links for new students are provided for both campuses.
2. Begin the admissions process through the official AIS online enrollment portal. The school provides dedicated enrollment pages for new students, with a PreEnrollment flow for AIS, including the North Campus option. This portal is the channel to start your application and submit required information for admission. The enrollment links and PreEnrollment pages are publicly accessible from AIS's site.
3. Create an applicant profile and start the PreEnrollment steps. The North Campus PreEnrollment page shows grade-based entry points (Nursery One, Nursery Two, Kindergarten, Elementary, Junior High School) and confirms that an online intake process exists for new students. Parents should follow the on-site prompts to set up the application and indicate the intended grade level. Details about what documents or data to upload are provided within the enrollment system as you progress.
4. Submit the information requested by the enrollment form and upload any required documents as directed by the portal. The AIS online enrollment system is the mechanism to provide student and family information for the admission review. You'll receive prompts for the documents and data the school requires as part of completing the application. If additional information is needed, admissions will communicate through the enrollment platform.
5. Admissions review and potential placement steps. The enrollment flow is organized by grade level, and admissions decisions are communicated through the enrollment system. Any testing, interviews, or placement activities, if required, are typically coordinated as part of the online process or via direct communication from admissions. The presence of grade-based enrollment paths indicates that placement considerations are part of how spaces are allocated.
6. Receive an admissions decision and offer to enroll. Once the review is complete, the enrollment portal is the channel through which you would be notified of an admission decision and any next steps. If an offer is extended, you will proceed to finalize enrollment through the same portal.
7. Confirm enrollment and arrange payment. After acceptance, the next step is to complete the enrollment by paying the applicable fees and submitting any required confirmations. The enrollment portal handles the formal steps to secure a place in the desired grade level. For up-to-date fee information, refer to the enrollment portal guidance and the admissions communications you receive through it.
8. Prepare for start date and orientation. With enrollment confirmed, the school will provide details about start dates, orientation, and any campus-specific procedures. You will coordinate these items through the enrollment system and any follow-up communications from AIS.
The school offers a Founder Scholarship and Enrollment Incentives. Enrollment incentives include Early Enrollment, Full Payment, Siblings Discount, Bring-A-Friend, Alumni Discount, and Loyalty Privileges. Specific discount amounts shown in AIS materials include a 25% Grade 1 tuition discount for AIS Kindergarten completers and a 50% Grade 7 tuition discount for AIS Grade 6 graduates. Current terms are subject to change and should be confirmed during the admissions process.
The school's public materials do not publish a formal waitlist policy. Admissions operates via an online PreEnrollment system with campus- and grade-based enrollment paths, and spaces are allocated through that process. If you want to understand whether a waitlist or pool would apply to your grade and timing, contact admissions through the enrollment portal for the most current policy.
