Faculty redesigned courses for digital instruction while students adapted to new forms of collaboration, communication, and independent learning. Despite unprecedented uncertainty, the AISZ community demonstrated resilience, compassion, and determination.

The program marked a significant step in the school’s commitment to compassionate and inclusive education. In the same historic year, AISZ celebrated Amelia Arizti as the first Bridges Program graduate and the first graduate with Down syndrome in school history, embodying the values of perseverance, dignity, and belonging that define the AISZ community. “The American International School of Zagreb makes space for every student to shine and as the first graduate with Down syndrome and the first Bridges graduate, I want to remind everyone how important it is to see the potential and greatness in everyone.” - Amelia Arizti, Graduation Speech 2024 / 2025
