You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.227.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:46, 23 November 2025. Your current IP address is 34.227.114.28.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''American International School of Jeddah''' ('''AISJ'''; ((lang-ar|المدرسة الأمریکیة العالمیة بجدة))), or the "American School" in short, is an [[international school]] with American curriculum in [[Jeddah]], [[Saudi Arabia]]. Established in 1952, the American International School of Jeddah is a U.S. accredited Pre-K - 12 college preparatory institution.<ref name="American International School of Jeddah">"[http://aisj.edu.sa/mission-vision-and-core-values] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160526190257/http://aisj.edu.sa/mission-vision-and-core-values |date=2016-05-26 ))" ([http://aisj.edu.sa/mission-vision-and-core-values] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160526190257/http://aisj.edu.sa/mission-vision-and-core-values |date=2016-05-26 )) ).</ref>

==History==
It opened in 1952 as the '''Parent Cooperative School''' (PCS), with an initial class of 40 students. The school opened to serve children of [[Trans World Airlines]] (TWA) employees from the [[United States|US]] brought to Saudi Arabia to establish [[Saudia Airlines]], as well as other children. The lack of a formal American curriculum school in Jeddah was an issue TWA employees faced because they needed schools for their children. Parents then formed the Parents Cooperative School (PCS, founded in 1952), in which they volunteered to teach students using a home school curriculum (American based). When the expatriate community kept expanding with time, the school began to notice a rapid growth, and therefore built a new facility in 1968, and again in 1975.

In 1976, the North Campus (NCS) was built (by the Raytheon compound) in order to accommodate the rising number of students. By 1985 the school changed its name to '''Saudi Arabian International School (SAIS)''', and by the year 2000–2001, it had its first 12th grade graduation, becoming the first international school in Jeddah that had a diploma program. Until 2004, the school was under the direct auspices and sponsorship of [[Saudia Airlines]], children whose parents are expatriate workers for Saudia Airlines such as pilots and engineers go to school at SAIS where mostly live in Saudia City, Khaledeyah district, as the housing compound of [[Saudia|Saudia Airlines]] expatriates.  

After 2004, The school changed its name to the '''American International School of Jeddah (AISJ)''' after [[Saudi Arabian Airlines|Saudia]] officially announced that they would no longer continue their sponsorship of the school, due to their need to focus solely on the airline business. Since 2005, the school has been run as an independent not-for-profit entity.

The current campus opened in 2019.<ref name=Newcust>((cite web|url=https://www.arabnews.com/node/1462591/corporate-news|title=AISJ moves to a new, custom-built campus|newspaper=[[Arab News]]|date=2019-03-06|accessdate=2022-02-12))</ref> Zuhair Fayez Partnership designed the facility.<ref>((cite web|last=Jiffry|first=Fadia|url=https://www.arabnews.com/news/573671|title=Jeddah’s American school to build new campus|newspaper=[[Arab News]]|date=2014-05-20|accessdate=2022-02-12)) - [https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Jeddah's+American+school+to+build+new+campus-a0368621444 see copy at] [[The Free Library]].</ref>
