About

    Thus since our present lives and practices are forever changing. The world that we are preparing our young people for is very different to the world that we, as adults, were prepared for by our teachers. Many schools talk about fulfilling potential or blending academic excellence with outstanding extracurricular activities. However, American school is not a school built upon elaborate words meant for publicity, in American School we value the meaning of success in its widest sense. Through our wide range of academic and extracurricular activities, we aim to develop in our students the ability to face a global world which moves at a great pace as well as achieving excellent academic standards.
     
    Given that our students come from a very wide range of backgrounds and abilities; each of them has something within them that is very special. It is this focus on trying to uncover that special talent and using it to build confidence and self-esteem that makes American School much more than a school, but rather a family.
     
    To be a part of American School is an opportunity that is life changing for students, families and everyone of us. That is why several generations of children and their families, along with many dedicated staff members, teachers have passed through American School’s doors since 1977. Each person has added unique color and depth to the tapestry that is American School, and each passing year adds a page to our rich history. The tradition of quality in American School education continues here, and passes from generation to generation.
     
    It is a pleasure to welcome you again to American School a place where you and your child will have the opportunity to discover your child’s extraordinary potential in a supportive academic environment.
