I don't know much/if anything about the American International school to compare. What I can say is that I will be sending my daughter to Norwegian International Kindergarden this coming year as I was very impressed with thier teachers and campus. We attended their open house in February and we were able to meet some parents and really like the people and atmosphere. It is small and family oriented. Just had a good feel of the school and am very happy that she will be going there. Hope that helps.
