“The first five years have so much to do with how the next eighty turn out!”-Bill Gates

A child’s first years of school are filled with many incredible moments. This is the time of tremendous social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development; and this period can come and go at a quick pace. The skills learned at this stage may seem simple, but they will set your child up for a lifetime of learning. Pre-schooling may look like all fun and games, but there’s an intense amount of brainwork going on during this time in a child’s life.

American Lyceum International School is concerned for the health and safety of its students and faculty. Everybody in campus is responsible for the safety of the children. The immediate people in charge of this are the Class Teachers, followed by the Teaching Assistants and then the Managers. No shoes allowed inside the Hygiene Controlled area. All electric sockets must be covered all the time.

Upon sign in, the staff is required to use anti-bacterial hand sanitizer and the product is used as often as needed all throughout the day by them. The school makes sure there is no object lying around, which may fall on the children and harm them in any way. Food items, whether from home or provided by the school, are always supervised and checked by an adult during feeding time (snack/lunch time). If a food is suspected to be stale or contaminated, ALIS will not feed it to the child and the parents will be informed.

The children are never left alone or without supervision, students are under constant adult supervision. The school encourages the use of disinfectant spray every week, to keep up the hygiene. Fire, earth quake or emergency training sessions are given to all the staff members.  ALIS organizes drills for students every month. It also has a soft play area for children to avoid any problem.

American Lyceum has introduced committees, which are responsible to uphold all the discipline. It organises refresh training sessions. The committees consist of a group of students and teachers.
