The American School Foundation

The summer is almost over and it's that time of year again! Whether you are a true veteran or a complete rookie, parents, teachers and students all share mixed feelings of excitement and anticipation as they get ready to go back to school.

Many of you at ASF have probably heard the term “SAS”, or walked past its small office, located between the Founders’ Garden and the Sundial Garden. But how many of you actually know what the school’s Services for Academic Success actually are, and how they help our students succeed?

As you walk around campus, you can admire all the upgrades made by our incredible maintenance staff during the summer holidays: fresh paint, beautiful lush gardens, new signs, improved security protocols. Our teams were hard at work preparing the campus to continue offering its students the best American independent education in a 21st century learning environment.

The Service Learning Program was established to give ASF students opportunities to enhance their classroom learning by interacting and providing service in the local community. The Service Learning Program is working with a variety of local organizations and schools to establish partnerships and connections to make a positive impact in the neighborhood.

ASF's Makerspace is a beautiful, inspiring, new space to welcome students and teachers with a full range of tools and technology that can be used to create a broad range of products. Students now can create, tinker, build, prototype and design solutions to real problems!

K3, grade 5 and grade 8 students have proudly 'stepped up' and will be entering new divisions of ASF in August, 2019. All students received their diplomas in a ceremony in the Fine Arts Center, followed by a celebration with family and friends, where they enjoyed food and drinks to mark the end of this stage at ASF, and mark the beginning of an exciting new cycle!
