MISSION

The mission of our American School is to ensure that all of our students excel in academic fundamentals, think creatively and critically, learn independently, and act on their life-long commitment to learning and global responsibility. To accomplish the mission, the school will provide the students with a challenging American Curriculum, taught by a caring staff and in a supportive family environment, supplemented with relevant technology, and multi-cultural experiences.

VISION

The school wishes to provide academic, emotional, physical, and spiritual nourishment for the students. The complete development of these young minds must be considered in all aspects to adequately prepare them for the challenges of the real world. This is accomplished by:

  • Ensuring a proper communication between the students, staff, and parents. All concerns and issues are to be properly communicated and assessed in a comfortable and supportive environment provided by the school administration and staff.
  • Striving to provide for our students a comprehensive and progressive education that will be a firm base for whatever endeavors that our students may choose once they have left our care.
  • Being committed to the process of continuous life-long learning and the application of knowledge. This is not just accomplished in the class- rooms, but it must reach far and beyond the school gates. By various and conventional methods of teaching we instill that learning is a life long endeavor which will never cease as long as change is about us.
  • Seeing that our students can learn with the proper assistance and guidance and that we can reach them in a more effective manner with the proper training and tools.
  • Enforcing the vision of group work, our students should learn the value of teamwork by participating in group efforts which will allow them to acknowledge responsibility in completing group tasks.
