About Us
Empowering students to become global citizens through innovative American curriculum and world-class education.
To provide an exceptional American education that empowers students to become innovative thinkers, compassionate leaders, and global citizens who make a positive impact in the world.
To be Asia's leading American school, recognized for academic excellence, innovative teaching, and graduates who are prepared to lead and serve in a rapidly changing world.
American World School was founded with a bold belief: that every child, regardless of background, deserves access to a world-class American education that ignites curiosity, builds character, and opens doors globally.
From our humble beginnings in 1998, we have grown into one of Asia's most respected international schools. Our approach fuses the rigor of the American curriculum with entrepreneurial thinking, project-based learning, and a deep respect for global cultures.
Today, our alumni lead companies, publish research, and serve communities across more than 30 countries — a testament to the enduring impact of an AWS education.
