Dedicated both to its American educational philosophy and to its diverse student body, which represents about 50 nationalities, ASL offers a rigorous curriculum with a sophisticated global perspective. The School seizes every possible advantage of its location in the heart of the world's most international city, whether through in-class visits by noted London residents or day and overnight trips in the city, Britain and continental Europe.
ASL is the oldest American school in London and remains the only non-profit American school in England. The School is organized into three school divisions, Lower, Middle and High School, ensuring developmental and age-appropriate settings for our students. Over the years, we have developed a strong school culture that emphasizes the intellectual and moral growth of our students. Very quickly our students absorb the values of the School — a commitment to excellence, intellectual self-reliance, eagerness to assume responsibility, an appreciation for diversity and a global perspective. Experiential learning opportunities — learning by doing — are integrated throughout the curriculum, creating an environment where students are encouraged to take educational risks.
The outstanding ASL faculty are closely involved with our students, not only in the classroom, but as coaches, advisors, mentors and friends. They foster an atmosphere of true learning that encourages our students to engage in rigorous intellectual activity and independent thinking.
With a student body representing many nationalities, the School is strongly committed to bringing an international and multi-cultural perspective into all aspects of School life. We also recognize that we are a cultural and community center for Americans in London and work to help families making the transition to life in London.
The School is committed to a partnership between school and family providing an environment of openness, responsiveness and communication – an environment that places the child’s well-being at the center.
