Principal's Corner

Welcome Lions!

Welcome to AFNORTH International School - Elementary Section! Our focus is on meeting the academic and developmental needs of all students. Our school is dedicated to helping our students become efficient problem solvers, decision makers, and dynamic thinkers. We provide an environment that encourages exploration and discovery to help children learn about the world in which they live. We strive to help children grow into global citizens who appreciate differences and foster a culture of respect. We are very proud of the educational atmosphere which prevails throughout AFNORTH - one that is safe, orderly, clean, and student-centered.

Parents are always welcome in the school and I encourage you to become an active volunteer in our school. We seek your assistance in helping us to improve the quality and effectiveness of the educational experiences, opportunities, and school environment that we offer to students.

Please take a moment and join the Parent/Teacher Organization. The PTO works diligently to help provide the best educational experience for all the students. Your involvement will enhance and enrich the lives of the children we serve. Our students are successful because of a caring and dedicated staff that develops and fosters positive relationships with the students and their families. Together, we can make a difference!

Again, we welcome you to AFNORTH International School. We look forward to sharing highly successful and enjoyable experiences with you throughout the school year. If you have a question or concern, please do not hesitate to call your child's teacher, the guidance counselor, or me. When parents and teachers work together, children benefit greatly!

Looking forward to a great school year!

May is National Speech-Language-Hearing Month - a time to recognize the importance of communication and to honor the professionals who make it possible for so many students to find their voice. Across the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools, Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) play a vital role in supporting student success, regardless of location, language, or need. Though separated by oceans and time zones, DoDEA SLPs have found a powerful way to stay connected and collaborate through a Microsoft TEAMS group that spans the globe.
