ABOUT AAIE

2023 Conference

 

The Association for the Advancement of International Education (AAIE) is a not-for-profit association of international schools around the world promoting exemplary school leadership and research-based, effective and innovative educational practices. As an autonomous organization, AAIE was legally incorporated in 1966 with a mandate to further and continuously improve international education and cultural understanding across independent overseas schools. AAIE serves a diverse global community providing leadership development across the ever-changing and expanding spectrum of educational programming initiatives and issues.

AAIE Mission

AAIE inspires and enables our global community of leaders to collaboratively build a more diverse,
inclusive, and sustainable future.
 

 

       .

The AAIE Mission is our declaration of the unique identity to which we aspire–describing who we serve, our specific purpose, and what we seek to achieve for our membership.

Our mission describes the extraordinary purpose of AAIE– and serves as a focal point toward which we concentrate disciplined action, effort, resources, and energy.

AAIE is your place to gather as a world community throughout the year – to belong, to learn together, and to know that to engage in envisioning the future of learning is the underpinning of success for our students.

The future of our schools depends on vision, wisdom, courage, and integrity. Let’s do the searching, discovery, and collaborative learning together to forge ever improving relationships and school communities.

The Work We Do

Through weekly programming, annual gatherings, and ongoing outreach, we connect together ideas, perspectives, success stories, member expertise, and thought leaders from around the globe. AAIE promotes and communicates current educational research, teaching and learning practices, best-in-class trends, and change leadership to promote continuously improving and future-ready schools. From the very beginning, and even more necessary and true today, AAIE is the worldwide organization that connects school leaders to a vast array of resources, new ideas, and opportunities serving as a disruptive influence and change agent to ensure the viability, integrity, and future of overseas international schools. With the executive home office in Princeton, NJ, AAIE brings people, ideas, cultural understanding, and values together where everyone learns, benefits, and belongs.
