ASF is an IB World School offering three International Baccalaureate programs — the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP), which is an optional two-year program that offers Upper School students advanced-level work in a variety of areas. As an IB continuum school, ASF uses two aspects of the IB that are the staple of our programmes:

• IB Learner Profile - used to promote ASF's core values as the backbone to build international-mindedness.
• Approaches to Learning - Skills that positively influence and support a student's approach to lifelong learning. Our curriculum addresses these skills throughout the K-12 curriculum.

ASF's accreditations and high academic standards allow students to transfer to other schools around the world seamlessly.
