Our mission is to develop the intellect and
character of each student by providing an outstanding American
education with a global perspective.
Our Vision for Excellence
Learning
The heart of our school lies in the dynamic relationship between
student and teacher. ASL provides a rigorous program that engages
students through inquiry and collaboration. Our dedicated faculty
encourages students to think critically, to take risks and to be
creative. We challenge students to strive for personal and academic
excellence, and we treasure the intellectual, social, artistic and
physical development of each student. ASL students are expected to
participate actively in their learning and to engage fully in the
intellectual life of the School.
Character
We believe that students develop integrity and strength of
character by learning to make good choices and by taking responsibility
for their actions. We expect ASL students to be kind, honest and
respectful of others. We value a strong work ethic, and we seek to
instill in our students a sense of optimism and determination in the
face of challenge. Our supportive environment encourages students to
develop the courage to act independently and the confidence to pursue
leadership opportunities.
Community
Respect for individual and cultural differences is a central value
of ASL. We celebrate the open exchange of ideas and spirit of
inclusiveness that flow from our multicultural community. The active
involvement of students, families, alumni, faculty and staff creates
the energy and enthusiasm that characterize the ASL experience. Our
community participates wholeheartedly in the extensive opportunities
found in London, and we are committed to pursuing learning experiences
throughout the world.
Service
We believe that service to others teaches young people to be
productive and effective citizens, and we challenge ASL students to
find passion and purpose beyond themselves. ASL offers meaningful
opportunities in the classroom and through service learning for
students to participate actively in our school, local neighborhoods,
and abroad. We seek to inspire the compassion and international
awareness necessary for students to contribute responsibly to the
global community.
