Welcome to the American International School of Niamey!

Message from Director

Welcome to AISN

We are happy to have you visit our website to learn more about our learning community in West Africa. AISN opened in 1983 with a handful of students and grew quickly, moving to our current purpose-built campus in 1986. Today, the school has just over 70 students from more than twenty countries. This diversity is central to who we are, and we provide the support students need to succeed.

Our mission is to educate students from diverse cultures to achieve excellence in their intellectual and personal development. We offer a dynamic American curriculum taught by dedicated staff, with a strong English as a Second Language (ESL) program to help all students reach their potential. Students also participate in specials such as art, music, physical education, and French, along with extracurricular programs that foster creativity, leadership, and collaboration.

Social-emotional growth is a priority at AISN. We help students build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills while preparing them for academic success, meaningful community engagement, and readiness for university and professional opportunities.

Accredited by the Middle States Association of Schools and a member of the Africa International Schools Association, AISN maintains high standards and a commitment to continuous improvement. Students connect with both the wider world and the local Nigerien community through field trips, cultural events, and service projects, gaining new perspectives while appreciating the culture around them.

AISN is more than a school—it is a place where international and local communities come together to learn and grow. We provide a safe, supportive, and challenging environment for every student, and I would be glad to show you our campus or meet virtually to share more.

Sincerely,
AISN Director
