Western Connecticut State University 

WCSU is working to help us expand our school theme. Through a mutual partnership with the university, the Academy of international Studies will seek to enrich our students and families with experiences in the Arts, the Sciences, World Language, and Teacher Education. Through our association with WCSU, AIS teachers will have an opportunity to participate in the Global Academy in Puerto Rico as well as develop a relationship with the W.A.L.K.S. School, Puerto Rico as our “sister” school.

Jane Goodall Institute:

“Roots creep underground everywhere and make a firm foundation. Shoots seem very weak, but to reach the light, they can break open brick walls. Imagine that the brick walls are all the problems we have inflicted on our planet. hundreds and thousands of roots & shoots, hundreds and thousands of young people around the world, can break through these walls. You can change the world.” ~ Dr. Jane Goodall


The Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots & Shoots program is designed to engage and inspire youth of all ages through service-learning projects. Founded by Dr. Jane Goodall, this fast-growing global program is based on the principle that knowledge leads to compassion, which inspires action. All R&S groups plan and implement projects showing care and concern in three areas: the Environment, Animals, and the Human Community.
