The American School of Paris is a vibrant, international, family-oriented community. Our mission is to inspire and prepare every student to achieve personal and academic excellence as an engaged global citizen by providing a challenging, innovative program within a compassionate environment.
Though we are an international school of more than 64 nationalities, the underlying spirit of an American education is embodied by each one of our students. Our focus on the strengths within each child, an all pervading ‘can do’ attitude, together with our rigorous program and expert teachers, ensures that every student explores the full range of their potential.
Every child is different. At ASP, we understand that. Through offering a wide range of experiences, we enable every student to play to their strengths and discover new ones. Academic choices including IB and AP, as well as an American High School Diploma, electives spanning Entrepreneurship to Music Composition offer students range and challenge. We offer 60+ after school activities, global service trips, internships, theater, music and arts opportunities.
Our green, spacious, newly renovated campus houses all ages from 3–18. Our specialist spaces for design, robotics, and film-making as well as for the Arts and performance enable us to achieve excellence in all areas. Our expansive fields and sports facilities allow our students to experience a full athletics program, the neighboring forest of Saint Cloud has become a haven for our woodland explorers, and for our biking and orienteering courses.
We are a truly family-oriented and mission driven school. We pride ourselves on our warm and caring community where each member, whether a 5 year old student or an 85 year old Alumni, plays an important role. We are committed to empowering our students to take responsibility and instilling in them the knowledge that they can make a difference. Our strong ethos of service and contribution to the local and global community ensures students have many opportunities to engage with the world as contributing global citizens.
ASP has a team of specialist College and Guidance Counselors who support students and families as they prepare to make the most important step after high school. We have comprehensive course and careers advisory programs and a network of alumni across the globe ready to give our Grade 12 students advice, encouragement, and a helping hand. Our students are accepted to some of the most prestigious universities around the world, each student works with our expert Counselors to find the perfect fit University.
As a leading school situated in the beautiful city of Paris we are able to attract highly qualified, experienced and passionate teachers. Our team of faculty and staff are deeply committed to our mission and thrive on creating wonderful learning experiences for our students. We believe that enabling high levels of success and motivation in our students is a team endeavor and we work closely, in partnership with parents, to ensure that every child achieves their academic and personal potential.
