With the vision of promoting cultural diversity and language appreciation, our Mother-Tongue Committee was established in 2023 by Dr. Dina Taher, AIS West Middle School Principal, along with a group of passionate teachers and culture-lovers across campus. In addition to celebrating the mother tongue of our various students, the committee aims to foster understanding and respect among students of different nationalities. Through a series of events and celebrations, they take students on captivating journeys across various cultures. This fosters a sense of pride and belonging and fulfills the mission of raising informed and engaged local, regional and global citizens. Some of the initiatives include an Arabic book club and a Mandarin language club. Events hosted inlcude Sudan National Day, Spanish and French celebrations, and a multicultural book fair on the World Arabic day. Upcoming on their agenda is the celebration of Poland National Day in May 2024, promising more enriching experiences for students and parents alike.
