About the Program:

The Antigua International School (AIS) was founded to provide a world-class education, based on critical thinking, to the children of Guatemala, regardless of their socio-economic status. Half of AIS's student body receives scholarships to attend. Through an Edible Schoolyard, our hope is to educate students and the extended community on the benefits of growing their own food. AIS's diverse student population provides a great opportunity to create positive nutritional changes in Guatemala. We will use an edible landscape and organic children's garden to enhance our existing academic curriculum.
