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 employees reach their full potential." Therefore, we focus on both knowledge development and personal growth. Our culture is characterized by clear rules combined with care. We call this "Frames and Hugs" (Ramar and Kramar). The school activities are organized so that students are prepared for an international labor market in a rapidly changing world; hence, 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 hallways, interactions between students and staff are characterized by behaviors derived from these values. We work closely with students and always put the students' best interests first.
