We begin the 2022-2023 school year under the theme of connection and community. This theme was chosen purposefully by the ASB’s world-class staff in the context of our new reality. In conjunction with bringing back cherished events and activities, continuing to communicate in an open and honest fashion, and offering new ways to connect and build relationships, the school will re-invest in its community, a cherished and integral part of the ASB experience. Our school has long been recognized as a pioneering school in the world of international education. That drive to innovate and offer our students the most relevant and effective learning experience possible will continue in earnest. Our educational program evolves each and every year as we commit to delivering on our Mission, upholding our Core Values, and striving to achieve our preferred future. ASB is a forty-year-old school deeply rooted in a two-thousand-year-old city. We are deeply committed to the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion, and have mobilized the community toward removing any impediments to teaching and learning at ASB. We are intentionally international, holding ourselves to the highest standards of excellence, and we expect you to join us in holding ourselves accountable to this benchmark.
