American United School

What an exciting time to be a part of the AUS family. Whether it be a parent, student, staff, or extended family member coming out of the last two years there is a sense of relief and jubilation.

Our guiding principle is “Learning - Anytime, Anywhere.” For the past few years that principle has been lived out through the lens of online and socially distant learning. This year It is time to embrace small group instruction, collaborative group work, athletic competitions, live performances and a deeper focus on building positive relationships. Academic success is a very important aspect but the work of nurturing the growth of the whole child physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually, and intellectually is a responsibility for all of us working together to that end.

AUS continues to evolve and provide value added experiences. This past summer we offered our very first summer camp and it was a huge success. Starting this school year we have signed a partnership with the Real Madrid Foundation offering a football academy that promises to be an extra-curricular bonus. Academically you will discover more Advanced Placement (AP) offerings in high school, a middle school curriculum called Springboard that supports the AP growing curriculum, and the continued expansion of Core Ready.

One of my personal goals this year is to “be curious”. We believe we all have to be more curious and ask more questions. The emphasis is not on passing judgment but asking questions to become more informed, to challenge our own way of thinking and searching out the best answers to make better decisions.

Our Vision is to provide an outstanding American education that enables students to be inspired lifelong learners and responsible global citizens.

We believe learning is not confined to a classroom or a campus—it should be available wherever and whenever the learner needs it.

• At AUS we continually demonstrate how to be a caring community of learners— our students, teachers, staff and families are committed to educating the whole child.
• Our school community acknowledges and recognizes the personal, cultural and social value of each individual.
• We believe technology is an integral part of students’ lives, expectations, and the future – this cannot be ignored but rather explored with a deep sense of intellectual inquiry.
• We are dedicated to the future global success for this planet which depends on having a diverse, well-educated workforce.
