Our administrators, teachers, students, and their families come from all over the world, a diversity that greatly enriches our learning environment by exposing students to different cultures, traditions, languages, and modes of thinking. We emphasize respect, worth, and dignity of all peoples and of each individual, encouraging students to develop a social conscience within the framework of well structured academic and disciplinary programs. We constantly re-evaluate student needs and the curriculum, making adjustments as needed to provide students with a solid foundation in math and the physical sciences, computer science, social studies, and especially in English language and literature, as well as introducing them to an appreciation of art, music, and foreign languages, and a lifelong enjoyment of physical exercise and sports. Advanced Placement classes at the high school level and other programs for students with special learning needs throughout all grades are integral to the overall curriculum.
Through the integration of school, home, and the wider community, The American School provides an environment that is essential to good learning and good citizenship. We are all “family,” working together to ensure that each student at all levels is academically challenged, yet feels safe and happy, encouraged to grow both academically and socially, encouraged to become a successful and contributing citizen in a world that is increasingly more complex, increasingly more tightly interlinked socially, technologically, economically-and ethically.
