The school's curriculum is modeled on the American system of education with a mission of “fostering a community of inquisitive learners and independent thinkers, inspired to be their best selves, empowered to make a difference.”

About ASIJ

Why ASIJ?

“I believe teachers need to see every child’s glass as half full and that requires knowing each student as an individual and being tenacious in trying to discover and understand their unique potential.”

— Dr Jim Hardin, Head of School
