Modern and spacious, AISD covers a 4.5-acre site in a residential area of Dhaka where the majority of the expatriate population in Dhaka lives. The fully air-conditioned buildings house 60 classrooms and all aspects of a well-appointed school: two libraries, four fully-equipped science and computer labs, gymnasiums, an auditorium/theater, art and music facilities, playgrounds, athletic fields, and a covered 25-meter swimming pool. AISD provides buses to and from school as well as for after-school activities and field trips. Students have many opportunities to participate in drama, music, art, dance, cooking, computers, special interest groups, social events, and sports. Annual trips to Thailand, Malaysia, and other areas of Bangladesh are arranged for the students in Grades 6-12.

AISD, whose goal is to enable students to integrate into any English-speaking school system, is recognized and accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), the Council of International Schools (CIS), and the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO).
