Dear AIS-Salzburg Community,
For a little under a week now, AIS-Salzburg has become a very quiet place: quite different than the normal, 'March Madness', that is witnessed in our halls this time of year. Instead of students scurrying to classes, teachers dashing off last-minute copies, and resident staff members preparing for weekend activities, all is quiet, calm and serene. However, there's actually a lot going on as we prepare online coursework for the weeks after our Spring Break's conclusion on the 29th of this month. We'll be ready to go and we hope that all of our students are looking forward to getting back on track—if only virtually—in the very near future. Take care, be safe, and wash those hands!
We hope you enjoy this week's newsletter.
Headmaster McLean

New Professional Video Now Online
A film crew visited our school back in February to shoot this short film, and we are very pleased with the result! We feel this video encapsulates the tight-knit, international community aspect of our school, where many long-lasting international friendships are born and many student-teacher bonds are formed every year.
