Our daughters have started AFS middle and lower schools last year and our experience so far has been wonderful. There is a distinct difference in the culture and unity in the campus that we experienced from day one compared to other public and private schools our kids have been to. The teachers form a strong bond with all the students and provide a good environment for them to develop academically and socially. The unique thing that I could highlight about AFS is that students from all levels have an opportunity to connect with each other which helps to establish a strong sense of community.

My son attended from K - 12 and received an excellent academic education. I feel the values imparted by the school are even more important. He is kind, generous, has empathy toward others, and is emotionally intelligent. He is invested in his community and gives back by organizing and participating...
