High School

Welcome to the High School at ASL, where your child will have unique and exciting opportunities, and experiences that will support them along their way from an early adolescent to a young adult. High school is a journey of self-discovery, reflection and exploration, and our bright and creative faculty and staff look forward to supporting our students as they work towards finding their identity, and as they begin to make sense of how they fit into the world.

Our school community works collaboratively to encourage and support the growth of our students in their social-emotional well-being, and in their academic experience. In espousing a holistic view of adolescent development, our faculty and staff in the High School put students at the center of every discussion. Students are not only encouraged, but are expected, to play an important role in determining the paths that they will forge during their time in the High School. While evolving their sense of independence, students also develop themselves further in the five areas related to ASL’s core values—respect, responsibility, kindness, integrity and the courage to act.

Students in the High School have access to a wide array of rigorous and exciting courses and diverse extracurricular offerings that challenge them to develop their skills in collaboration, innovation and communication. Additionally, ASL’s location in London offers a wealth of experiences and learning opportunities for our students, faculty and staff. The academic and extracurricular opportunities offered are augmented by a myriad of domestic and international travel and service-related experiences, to provide our students with a high school experience that is of the highest standard. In their totality, the different components of the ASL high school experience combine to prepare our students to emerge into the next phase of their lives as responsible citizens of the world.
