English as an Additional Language (EAL)To ensure that English as an Additional Language (EAL) students can satisfy grade-level academic requirements and fully take part in school life, the AES High School has established minimum levels of academic English proficiency suited for classroom participation. Applicants for whom English is not the first language or who have a bilingual/bicultural background will be required to sit for an English Language Proficiency assessment.

Community ServiceAES’ motto, “Enter to Learn. Leave to Serve.” is actively upheld by the work of the student-led Service Council and 12 community service clubs. AES service clubs work with local children, impoverished communities, human and animal rights, and environmental concerns.

75% of High School students and 90% of Grade 12 students actively participate in voluntary service.

The library offers an extensive collection of fiction, non-fiction and multilingual books in a variety of formats—print and digital—as well as access to online databases and reading websites to support classroom curriculum.

There is also a MakerSpace, where students can build, explore and experiment with equipment including a 3D printer, CNC machine, woodworking tools, augmented reality kits, electronics, and more. Students may take up their own projects or work with teachers on curricular projects.
