The American International School of Cape Town (AISCT) is a private, not-for-profit co-educational institution founded in 1997.

The school has an average class size of 16 students with a student-to-teacher ratio of 10:1.
AISCT is located on 12-acres in the heart of Constantia Hills with Table Mountain National Park towering in the background. Cape Town is a dynamic, modern city of 4 million people and is continually ranked as one of the best places to live in the world. AISCT students are able to take advantage of the numerous opportunities the city has to offer.
AISCT follows curriculum out of the USA and offers College Board Advanced Placement (AP) courses in the high school, including the AP Capstone Program. Following the northern hemisphere calendar, the school year begins in August and ends in June. AISCT students are able to experience a wide range of classes, from traditional core subjects to innovative classes such as robotics, design technology, musical theater, band, and vocals. In high school, students have 65 different classes to choose from during their 4-year experience.
The EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT (ECD) CENTER section of AISCT consists of Grizzly Cubs and Kindergarten 1. The Grizzly Cubs classrooms are home to our 2-4 year olds. Each class is limited to 14 students. Our Kindergarten 1 classes consist of a maximum of 16 students and are home to our 4-5 year olds. All ECD classes have a qualified teacher as well as a learning assistant. The ECD team strives to nurture the development of the whole child and to ensure a seamless transition to Elementary School through the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education.
Our ECD Center is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. We have a holistic, authentic, child-centered approach to learning that promotes meaningful relationships, creativity, and critical thinking skills in children. This unique approach is inspired by the philosophy and practice of the schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
