About American High School

American High School was founded on a strong pedagogical philosophy. Our guiding principle is that "we work to ensure that our students and staff reach their full potential." Therefore, we focus on both knowledge development and personal growth. Our culture is characterized by clear rules with care. We call this "Frames and Hugs" (Ramar och Kramar). The school operations are organized to prepare students for an international job 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. Interactions between students and staff in classrooms and hallways are characterized by behaviors derived from these values. We work closely with students and always put the students' best interests first.
