AISB uses a wide range of tools and systems to deliver instruction, engage with our student and parent body, and execute the usual tasks pertaining to an educational institution.
Software at AISB is vetted and approved by our Data Protection Officer, Catalin Nicoara, and must adhere to our GDPR policy.
🔗Here is the most up-to-date list of approved software in use at AISB (available for internal members only).
AISB Employees are also expected to take a course on cybersecurity and GDPR. This is, alas, mandatory, and it allows everyone to be on the same page regarding these essential regulations.

The App Store is locked for teachers and students, but apps are loaded into the devices by our Help Desk Team after a consultation with the Digital Learning Coaches.
