Learning Support Programme
Founded in 1946, the American School of Paris provides an American model of education to students from more than 50 nations, 40% being American. Instruction is in English, and all students study French.
The school embraces the American philosophy of educating the whole child, with a challenging academic program that also provides for physical, artistic, personal and social development. An experienced faculty strives to care for the needs of each individual, and there is a close working relationship between students and teachers. The values of respect, responsibility, and honesty are nurtured throughout the school, with community service an important theme. ASP cultivates a respect for cultural diversity and a specific appreciation of the school's setting in Paris and of French culture. Information Technology is well integrated into the school and curriculum.
In the Lower School, homeroom teachers provide a caring, structured environment, developing the skills that create a love of learning. Students work with specialist teachers in French, physical education, art, music and information technology.
Emphasizing an interdisciplinary, team approach, the Middle School provides an education that is both rigorous and personalized. Students come to assume a greater responsibility for their own learning and decision-making.
The Upper School offers a challenging curriculum that prepares students for the International Baccalaureate (IB), and Advanced Placement (AP) programs. ASP has an excellent record of university placement, with graduates attending the finest universities in the United States and worldwide.
Individual talents in music and theater are developed in a performing arts program, complimented by a rich program in the fine arts. Many after-school clubs, sports, and activities take place, and students travel to other European capitals to compete and to participate in performing arts festivals. New families are assisted in making a smooth transition to their new surroundings, and parents create a community spirit through active involvement in school.
On a spacious, 12-acre campus in the western suburbs, the school has three IT laboratories, a Performing Arts Center, state-of-the-art science laboratories, music rooms, art studios, a video laboratory, a ceramics and sculpture studio, a photography laboratory, two modern libraries, a new cafeteria, playgrounds, sports fields, and two full-sized gymnasia. The school's buses serve western Paris and its suburbs.
