About the American High School

The American High School was founded on a strong pedagogical idea. Our guiding star is that “we work for our students and employees to reach their full potential.” Therefore, we focus on both knowledge development and personal development. Our culture is characterized by clear rules with care. We call it “Frames and Hugs.” The school operations are organized so that students are prepared for an international labor market in a rapidly changing world, which is why our logo reads “Get ready for the world.”

Everything that happens at the school is based on our four core values: Courage, Kindness, Knowledge & Curiosity, and Grit. In classrooms and corridors, interactions between students and staff are characterized by behaviors derived from these values. We work closely with students and always prioritize their best interests.
